The Mediterranean Women Mediators Network is excited to invite you at the Geneva Peace Week side-event “Pathways to Peace: Empowering Young Women as Agents of Change” organized by OSCE Gender Issues Programme together with the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP), Women in International Security – Italy (WIIS- Italy) and the MWMN.
In an increasingly interconnected and complex world, the role of young women in fostering peace and stability cannot be overstated. The panel “Pathways to Peace: Empowering Young Women as Agents of Change” aims to highlight some of the pivotal contributions of young women in peacebuilding and conflict resolution processes.
This panel will bring together women leaders and activists experts from diverse backgrounds to share their experiences and insights in the areas of peacebuilding, including the role played by networks in support of their effective involvement in peacebuilding processes and decision-making at local, national, and international levels.
The discussion will also explore strategies for overcoming barriers to young women’s participation in peacebuilding, including cultural, social, and institutional obstacles. By showcasing successful examples and providing a platform for dialogue, this panel aims to inspire a new generation of young women to take active roles in creating and sustaining peaceful societies and provide concrete recommendations in support of these efforts.
Ultimately, the panel seeks to underscore the critical need for inclusive approaches that recognize and elevate the voices of young women as essential agents of change in the pursuit of global peace and security.
