Women’s rights on the line: Fighting for women’s rights when it matters most – peace processes
Research shows that women's participation in peace talks improves the likelihood of reaching lasting peace. Higher levels of gender inequality increase risks of terrorism, instability and civil war.
Women barely participated in Yemeni peace efforts, and the same is happening now in Afghanistan. This session will examine women's participation in those peace processes to develop lessons to advocate for women's inclusion going forward.
In partnership with: YWBOD and WCLRF
