About the InitiativeMaking the CaseAcross the globe, women play a vital but often unrecognized role in averting violence and resolving conflict. With expertise in grassroots activism, investigative journalism, human rights law, cross-conflict mobilization for peace, military reform, formal and information negotiations, and post-conflict reconstruction, these women bring innovative approaches to the peacemaking process. Scholarship regarding the work of women peace builders is scarce, and women's work in the field of security is largely unrecognized at the institutional and public policy levels. Noting the effectiveness of initiatives such as the Carnegie Commission on Preventing Deadly Conflict, The Initiative for Inclusive Security is committed to filling the gaps in research and policy literature and highlight practical models and strategies for the inclusion of women in peace-building efforts worldwide.
