The Women Peacemakers Program Founded

The Women Peacemakers Program (WPP) was originally established in 1997 as a program of IFOR, to support and empower women peace activists worldwide, and to advocate for a gender perspective in nonviolent peacebuilding. The program grew and was a tremendous success, training, and mobilizing thousands of people around the world. Today WPP is it’s own organization continuing to do great work. IFOR maintains close ties with WPP and continues to engage and support the important work of empowering women and addressing the intersection of gender and violence.
