Geneva Peace Forum: Scaling the Formal Impact of Women’s Engagement

Women shape peace processes at every level — yet formal mediation tables, still dominated by political and military elites, keep that influence on the margins. This session, organized by SWiPP / Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, traces how informal leverage becomes formal impact.

Featuring:

A SWiPP-moderated discussion with leading peacebuilding organizations and proximate peacebuilders on mediation, peacebuilding and women’s inclusion.

Three facilitated, country-specific groups trace how women’s informal leverage becomes formal influence in Colombia, Ukraine, and Sudan — identifying pathways, actors and mechanisms, and strategies for other contexts.
