About the Event
Women play a critical role in reducing conflict, advancing stability, and building sustainable peace. Women’s meaningful participation in peace agreements has been shown to critically affect their sustainability, with 35% of agreements more likely to last beyond 15 years. Similarly, in cases where women played a critical role in the peace processes, the probability of reaching a final and sustainable agreement is much higher than when women were absent. However, women continue to face unique challenges, sidelined, underrepresented, and pushed into supporting roles. Join Dr. Houda Abadi in conversation with Karin Ryan, Senior Advisor for Human Rights and Special Representative on Women and Girls at The Carter Center, for a discussion on women’s meaningful participation in peace processes, how we can advance a more inclusive agenda, and engender effective outcomes that bring peace and dignity to women and men
