This conversation featuring speakers from around the world will focus on the critical leadership role women have in building sustainable peace and how Rotary is uniquely positioned to support these efforts. The event is open to Rotary members and nonmembers of all genders.
Rotary and our members have a long history of promoting peace and working to address the causes of conflict in communities around the world. We use sustainable, measurable activities to create environments where peace can be built and maintained.
Research shows that when peace efforts include women in systematic and representative ways, the solutions address women’s interests and the results last longer. “Women’s participation in peace processes is about more than gender equality,” the UN has said. “It is about revolutionizing peacebuilding: creating solutions that reflect the needs of all people and address the underlying conditions that drive conflict in the first place.”
