Crown The Woman – South Sudan (CREW) is a women-founded and women-led Nonprofit, non-governmental, non-political, humanitarian and national grassroots Organization that aims at empowering girls and women to ensure they harness their potential and contribute to nation-building economically, socially and politically.

Among their strategic objectives is: To promote peace and harmony by building intercultural mutual bond among communities

The Gender Security Project's work with the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Agenda centers on research, reportage, and documentation. They highlight practice, policy, and approaches in the global south within the ambit of the WPS Agenda, and call for intersectional, inclusive, and intergenerational engagement to pursue the successful implementation of the agenda.

• Peacebuilding Training
• Gender
• Participatory Tools

The guide is intended to support facilitators to undertake a participatory gender-sensitive conflict analysis. It seeks to:

• Explain how to design and facilitate a flexible and participatory three-day gender-sensitive workshop.
• Provide step-by-step guidance and participatory tools to analyse gender, peace, violence and conflict for any given context.
• Position practitioners to apply this analysis to policy thinking and programme design and implementation, which can range from gender-sensitive to gender-transformative peacebuilding practice.

Georgetown University’s Institute for Women, Peace & Security seeks to promote a more stable, peaceful, and just world by focusing on the important role women play in preventing conflict and building peace, growing economies, and addressing global threats like climate change and violent extremism. We engage in rigorous research, host global convenings, advance strategic partnerships, and nurture the next generation of leaders (taken from https://giwps.georgetown.edu).

GIWPS publishes the Women, Peace and Security Index, which ranks countries on women's equality and reveals trends in women's wellbeing.

The Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP) builds equal, resilient and peaceful communities. We are a coalition of over 100 women’s rights organizations from over 40 countries around the world experiencing humanitarian crises or conflict. Our members are women and youth-led organizations who work on their communities’ most difficult issues—leading the way to a better future.

The integration of gender into peacebuilding programmes is still mostly synonymous with the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. And while women’s meaningful inclusion and participation in peace processes is essential to building sustainable peace, women’s rights organisations and some peacebuilding organisations have long realised that the connection between masculinities, violence and militarism also needs to be addressed to reduce violence in all its forms.

Founded in 2006, ICAN is a registered US-based nonprofit independent organization with 501c3 status whose mission is to support civil society activism in promoting women’s rights, peace and human security in countries affected by conflict, transition and closed political space. ICAN aims to support women’s efforts through bridging the divisions between activists and the policy community, elevating the voices and experiences of women activists, building skills, and ensuring the exchange of knowledge and resources.

IWPG is a non-profit organization registered with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in the Republic of Korea, listed in the United Nations Department of Global Communications (UN DGC), and has also gained ‘Special Consultative Status’ from the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

Although the integration of gender perspectives has, at least on paper, been a prominent aspect of peacebuilding for several decades, there has often been little or no attention paid to the inclusion of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions (SOGIE) in theory, policy, research or practice. Using the case studies of Colombia and Syria, the lecture examines some of the complexities of ‚queering‘ peacebuilding and different forms of agency as well as vulnerabilities of persons of diverse SOGIE in violent conflict, displacement and peacebuilding.

Our Secure Future (OSF) is a one of One Earth Future’s semi-autonomous programs, and therefore upholds the OEF vision to achieve peace through governance. Our Secure Future believes that women make the crucial difference to achieving more effective governance and lasting peace.

Three key areas of opportunity to strengthen the global Women, Peace and Security agenda are:

    • Amplifying women’s voices,
    • Strengthening the global network of women peacebuilders,
    • Promoting committed action by multiple stakeholders to turn policy into practice

The activities of PeaceWomen Across the Globe PWAG focus on strengthening links between women peace activists, supporting their work by providing them with practical tools, and making their commitment visible. The PWAG projects, campaigns and publications pursue the main goals.

In 2020, when the whole world was hit by the Covid 19 pandemic, as governments, businesses, and people battled to make sense of the global challenge, AMAN Indonesia, The Center of Excellence on Women and Social Security(CWSS), Walailak University Thailand and IMAN Research Malaysia joined hands to form The Southeast Asian Women Peacebuilders Network (SEAWP).

The on-the-ground realities the Covid pandemic has impacted is worrying, as xenophobia increased, and security issues that may be under the radar imploded, because the world’s focus was on stemming the virus.

It was obvious to SEAWP and friends that the Women, Peace and Security Agenda (WPS) had to be promoted more diligently and firmly, as the world order we knew had been changed by Covid 19.

SEAWP is about collaboration with and supporting our fellow peacebuilders around the ASEAN region. We want to advance local narratives on the work women and men peacebuilders in the region do. Southeast Asia is a dynamic, complex and multicultural region, whose borders can be contested, envied and reviled.

Our members work in peacebuilding as academics, activists, negotiators, mothers and fathers involved in the peace process, and young people wanting a peaceful future.

The creation of UN Women came about as part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact. It merges and builds on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system, which focused exclusively on gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Of particular interest to peacebuilders would be the following activities:

• Ending violence against women
• Peace and security

The Women Peacemakers Program’s vision is of a world where women and men work together through gender-sensitive active nonviolence, to build communities where people co-exist peacefully.

Women Peacemakers Program’s mission is to transform conflict through gender-sensitive active nonviolence.

The Women’s Alliance for Security Leadership (WASL) brings together existing women rights and peace practitioners, organizations, and networks actively engaged in preventing extremism and promoting peace, rights and pluralism, to enable their systematic and strategic collaboration.

WILPF’s mission is to end and prevent war, ensure that women are represented at all levels in the peace-building process, defend the human rights of women, and promote social, economic, and political justice.

The Women’s Peace & Humanitarian Fund is an innovative partnership empowering local women to be a force for crisis response and lasting peace.

We galvanize support from across the globe to support the efforts of women working on the frontlines of the world’s most intractable conflicts. From Jordan to Burundi, the Solomon Islands to Colombia, we aim to amplify the voices of women and support their vital work to prevent conflict, respond to crises, and accelerate peace in their communities.

Women’s Peace Network is composed of lawyers, community leaders, and peace activists from Myanmar and around the globe who share a common goal: peacefully promote and protect human rights.

We strive to ensure that Myanmar is a place where all people can enjoy peace, justice, and prosperity and live together harmoniously.
