#WFUSA23
Women play a unique role in conflict management and resolution, given they are the most impacted and vulnerable and simultaneously key actors of peace and resilience. They can be powerful drivers of the economy, supporting their families and society, vectors of solidarity in conflict times, frontline political leaders in peace negotiations and strong advocates for conflict resolution. Women act for Peace, let’s hear their voices.
