AMAN - International Civil Society Action Network (ICAN)

About the Organization

Asian Muslim Action Network (AMAN) is an organization based in Indonesia that works to create a religious culture that is non-violent and that promotes gender equality. AMAN works towards these objectives through peace education for grassroots women, community organizing with women’s groups, and national and international advocacy related to the Women, Peace, and Security agenda.

The organization works to facilitate progressive Islamic discourse and to connect organizations on women’s issues and peacebuilding from an Islamic perspective; to facilitate capacity building for communities and organizations and promote women’s leadership for peace; and to address gender-based violence and conflict over religion and natural resources through advocacy.

Core Areas of Work:

CRSV and GBV
Gender Equality and Religion
Peacemaking

If you engage all women’s groups, they’ll show you the correct path. They understand the communities. When governments engage women, it will also open lots of doors to engage marginalized groups.

– Ruby Kholifah Indonesia Country Director, AMAN Indonesia

Women Peacebuilders and Religious Leaders: A Complex Partnership with Transformative Potential

In a world increasingly divided by polarization, fear, and misinformation, building trust at the community level has never been more urgent. Religious and faith leaders—often seen as voices of moral authority and guidance—wield significant influence over the social and political attitudes of their communities. As locally rooted, trusted community leaders themselves, the women peacebuilders who make up the Women’s Alliance for Security Leadership (WASL) recognize the value of engaging with religious actors to advance inclusive peace and gender equality

Case Studies on the Role of Gender and Identity in Shaping Positive Alternatives to Extremisms

ICAN, with the support of Global Affairs Canada, has developed a set of “Case Studies on the Role of Gender and Identity in Shaping Positive Alternatives to Extremisms,” in Cameroon, Indonesia, Jordan, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Sweden, and the United States. The case studies demonstrate how conducting a Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+) improves understanding of the drivers, narratives and roles that engender extremisms and violent extremist activity. By profiling examples of peacebuilding, deradicalization, reintegration and counternarrative work in these contexts, the case studies emphasize how attention to gender and intersectional identities can improve the effectiveness of interventions to transform extremisms – not only by preventing or countering it, but by providing positive alternatives that enable people to realize a peaceful, pluralistic future.
