Global Database of Women's Organizations Involved in Peace


UN Women and the United Nations Department of Political Affairs (DPA) have recently launched a joint strategy on gender and mediation. The goal of this strategy is to achieve greater effectiveness of UN mediation efforts through the increased participation of women at all levels of conflict resolution and peacemaking and strengthened capacity to address gender issues in peace processes.

As part of this strategy, the UN Women Peace and Security Cluster is currently developing a global database of women’s organizations involved in peace. This “Global Database of Women's Peacebuilding Organizations” will be at the core of our renewed effort to enhance and better support national and local capacity building, foster knowledge and information sharing and develop efficient partnerships.

Please find attached a questionnaire on Women's Peacebuilding Organizations. With your help, we will be able to collect detailed information on organizations engaged at all levels of peace processes, from prevention to post-conflict peacebuilding. Once the database will be running, you will have the opportunity to learn about and connect with other organizations in your field at global, regional and national levels. You will also get the opportunity to correct your own information and add new elements.

Should you be interested to contribute to this project, we would be most grateful if you could fill out the attached questionnaire and send it back to us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Please feel also free to share this questionnaire with any relevant organizations involved in gender, mediation and peacebuilding issues you already work with or that you would recommend to be entered in this Global Database.

Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

In advance, we thank you for your support,
Respectfully,
Charles Tenenbaum
p.s.: Please let us know should you like a version of the questionnaire in Arabic, French or Spanish.
