SEARCH FOR COMMON GROUND

Purpose

This project seeks to engage women in local and national peace processes through increasing the capacity of women and men mediators; building bridges between grassroots women peacebuilders and established women’s groups that are already engaged in national Track I and II of the peace processes; and transforming norms around gender roles. Project activities include: (1) providing training to mediators; (2) organizing inclusive community dialogues; (3) establishing conflict resolution committees; (4) establishing a mentorship program for young women; and (5) conducting a communications campaign. This holistic approach aims to ensure the meaningful participation of a diversity of Yemeni women in peacebuilding and the amplification of their voices into the national peace process.
