Celebrating the Courage and Conviction of Women Peacebuilders
The barrel of a gun offers no answers, but dialogue, decency and care can make a world of difference—and build a different world.
Every day, we hear stories of communities—around us, and around the world—being torn apart by conflict, violence, and extremism.
But there is another side to these stories—one we haven’t heard.
It’s the side of women peacebuilders: courageous but often unseen leaders countering the choice of violence with the choice of peace.
We are standing with women peacebuilders to SOAR toward a future in which we all can flourish—will you join us?

Why Stand with Women Peacebuilders?
Because it is time we valued and rewarded peace actors, not just warring parties, who hide behind their weapons and their threats.
Because women peacebuilders are sustaining peace and life in the midst of war. They deserve respect, recognition, and their rightful seat at the table, where their futures and that of other families and countries are being decided.
Because they are the courageous women at the frontlines of solving some of the world’s most complex problems.
Frameworks For Action
The She Builds Peace Frameworks for Action provide analyses of who women peacebuilders are, what they do, and why their meaningful participation in peace and security processes is imperative to create lasting peace.
They outline the threats they face and why funding for women peacebuilders needs to increase.
They also offer concrete, actionable recommendations for states and multilateral organizations to take to improve the safety, sustainability, and success of women peacebuilders and their work.
