No Women No Peace

In the aftermath of conflict and insecurity, the empowerment and inclusion of women and girls is essential to establishing a successful peace process. This session will help showcase the important roles women and girls can play in negotiating peace agreements and in prevention and sustaining peace. It will also highlight the experiences of women who have been included and excluded in peace processes, and how their involvement or absence affected overall outcomes. Expect renewed commitments that will engage and enable women to participate in negotiating ceasefires, preventing conflicts, participating in peace processes and building sustainable futures. This event will be convened by UN Women, Religions for Peace, the Global Network for Women Peacebuilders, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, the Women's Peace and Humanitarian Fund and UNFPA.
