\nHistory has shown that civil resistance is most successful when women are engaged, peace processes are more likely to last when women are involved, and a country\u2019s propensity for conflict is lower with higher levels of gender equality. The <\/span>Women Building Peace Award<\/span> represents the Institute\u2019s commitment to highlighting the vital role of individual women who are working every day in fragile or conflict-affected countries or regions in the pursuit of peace. The award will honor a woman peacebuilder whose substantial and practical contribution to peace is an inspiration and guiding light for future women peacebuilders.<\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\nThe awardee will receive $10,000, to be used at the recipient\u2019s discretion, and be recognized at a ceremony in October 2020 at the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) in Washington, D.C. Because this award aims to celebrate the often invisible yet essential role that women play in peacebuilding, USIP strongly encourages nominations of individual women who have not been previously recognized for their work in peacebuilding.<\/span><\/div>\n
\nOn November 20, 2019, the nomination process for the Women Building Peace Award will officially open. All completed nomination applications<\/span><\/a> must be received by 2:00pm EST on February 14, 2020<\/span>. Please see below for additional details on how to nominate.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span>
\nBackground<\/span>
\nOver the past two decades, international organizations and the U.S. government have increasingly recognized the importance of gender equality in creating enduring, peaceful societies. Women\u2019s involvement in peace processes is vital to the overall success and longevity of peace agreements. It has been shown that when women are included in peace processes, the resulting peace agreement is 35% more likely to last at least fifteen years. Since 1992, women account for less than 3% of chief mediators in peace talks. But women are 50% of the population, and there are millions of extraordinary women working around the world every day for peace.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nUSIP has long been engaged in supporting women peacebuilders in countries affected by conflict\u2014including mediators in Colombia, advocates for gender equality in Pakistan, religious leaders across the Middle East who are advancing the rights of women and girls, and leaders of nonviolent movements around the globe.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThe launch of the Women Building Peace Award both reflects the Institute\u2019s comprehensive commitment to gender and peacebuilding and demonstrates the important role women play in peacebuilding efforts. <\/span>
