Research consistently demonstrates that countries with greater representation of women in decision-making roles tend to approach conflict resolution through peaceful means. Despite this, women often find themselves marginalized within the realm of security and peacebuilding endeavors. In Nigeria, the invaluable contributions of women to peacebuilding, often facilitated through informal networks, tend to remain unnoticed, highlighting a human rights concern.

Recognizing the principles of human rights and gender equality, it becomes imperative to establish and expand platforms that empower grassroots women. These platforms not only address the immediate manifestations of violence but also delve into the root causes, effectively challenging gender disparities. By fostering an environment where women play a pivotal role in cultivating sustainable peace, participating in decision-making processes, and driving community-centered peacebuilding initiatives, we honor the basic principles of human rights, equality, and dignity.

We cordially invite you to join our upcoming webinar titled “Amplifying Women’s Voices in Peacebuilding in Northwest, Nigeria.” Through this event, we aim to cast a spotlight on the indispensable roles women undertake in the complex landscape of peacebuilding. Moreover, we seek to engage in a discourse centered around strategies that not only enhance the visibility of these women but also reinforce their rights and agency in the pursuit of peace.

Your participation in this webinar is an opportunity not just to gain insights but also to actively contribute to the advancement of human rights and gender equality. Together, we can create a more inclusive and peaceful world, where the voices of women resonate with the principles we hold dear.
