Voices from Syria, Libya and Nigeria on Redesigning the Peace Desk: Learn WILPF’s Newest Feminists in Dialog Publication

What does the peace desk appear like now? Who’s lacking, and why? And why and the way does it want a feminist new look?

These had been just some of the questions mentioned at a latest gathering of feminist activists from Syria, Libya and Nigeria, the place they dissected the necessity to redesign the peace desk — the literal and figurative areas the place governments, stakeholders and activists come collectively to barter the trail to peace in conflict-affected areas. The dialogue explored the persisting challenges and limitations associated to the participation of girls of their respective nations’ peace processes — and the pressing have to reimagine the present peace desk.

In a brand new publication as a part of our ongoing Feminists in Dialog sequence, we share a take a look at the insights that emerged from this dialogue and spotlight the voices of the ladies who participated. Amongst these voices is Oula Ramadan, a Syrian activist with the organisation Badael, who emphasised the urgency of transitioning from “inclusion to affect”, ​​ and Pleasure Onyesoh, a Nigerian activist and President of WILPF Nigeria, who articulated how the constraints set by donors undermine ladies’s long-term efforts inside challenged conflict-affected areas.

“It’s time to maneuver from inclusion to affect. It’s not about who’s sitting [at] the desk however about what infrastructures and grassroots actions may be supported to have extra inclusive peace processes.”
