Women in Peacebuilding

Women in fragile and conflict‑affected contexts across Ethiopia, Lebanon, Somalia and Myanmar play indispensable yet often unrecognised roles in sustaining their families, strengthening social cohesion and preventing violence. World Vision’s peacebuilding initiatives across these settings demonstrate that when women’s leadership is supported, their contributions accelerate healing and enable more inclusive and sustainable peace outcomes. Despite facing significant barriers such as exclusion from formal peace negotiation processes and heightened safety risks, women consistently act as caregivers, mediators and connectors within and across communities.
