Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP)
Non-profit Organizations
Amplifying women's voices to build sustainable and inclusive peace.
About us
The Global Network of Women Peacebuilders is a coalition of over 100 women and youth-led organizations from more than 50 countries across Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America, Eastern, and Western Europe, the Middle East, and the Arab world—mostly in conflict-affected countries—that are actively involved in advocacy and action for the full and effective implementation of the UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR) on Women and Peace and Security (WPS), Youth and Peace and Security (YPS), Sustaining Peace, Gender-responsive Humanitarian Action, and 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. These international laws and policies call on governments, the UN, regional intergovernmental organizations, and other actors to guarantee women’s rights to participate in decision-making on peace and security matters. They also demand the prevention of conflicts and prevention of sexual and gender-based violence against women and girls. Additionally, they require the protection of women's and girls’ rights and their protection from sexual and gender-based violence. GNWP amplifies women's, young, and girls’ voices for more sustainable and inclusive peace. In partnership with local communities affected by violent conflicts and humanitarian crises, GNWP implements programs that build peace in local communities, teach women and girls how to read and write, promote women and girls to be peacebuilders, leaders, and decision-makers, and improve women’s economic status. GNWP advocates with governments for the implementation of laws and policies that promote and protect women and girls’ rights and works with men, boys, and gender-equality allies to support women and girls’ empowerment, leadership, and rights.
