For the past decade, using rhetoric and resolutions, governments and multilateral organizations have increasingly recognized the value of including civil society, especially women, in peace negotiations. Yet, when it comes time to choose mediators, those who facilitate dialogue and build trust between warring parties, this insight is too often forgotten. Speakers will discuss what can be done to elevate the roles of women in mediation and foster the kinds of inclusive, multi-track processes that lead to sustainable peace.
