Welcome

We believe gender inequality and exclusivity limits pathways to peace, security and economic development.  Working for the equal participation of women in decision making at all levels of civil society and governance, through mediation, negotiation skills, augmented AI, language and diplomancy, we support UN resolutions 1325 and 2122 involving women in peace and security. We believe in the power of imagination, communication, education and partnership to help rebuild trust and generate meaningful change.
