We’re navigating turbulent waters — aggressive times marked by division and hate. Starting now, the Women's Peace & Humanitarian Fund #PeaceIsAllOfUs Summit is a reminder that peace is in our hands, shaped by the choices we make every day. Thank you all for joining us! #PeaceIsAllOfUs

"We can't stop having the 🗨️ that matter, the ones that insist that peace & security are impossible without women at the table." - Tonni Brodber, Head of the Women's Peace & Humanitarian Fund Secretariat That's why our #PeaceIs Campaign is so timely: to spotlight the vital work of women on the frontlines.

For Women's Peace & Humanitarian Fund Board Member Daniela Alba, #PeaceIs a process of personal, communal & societal transformation. "It requires us to have hard conversations, hold systems accountable & carry forward the legacies of our grandmothers who've resisted structural violence for generations."

"How do we speak of peace when we are being starved, erased & eradicated?" asked Women's Peace & Humanitarian Fund partner shahd sataria at today's #PeaceIsAllOfUs Summit. #PeaceIs not looking away. "Stop sidelining Palestinian women. Amplifying our 🗣️ is not charity—it is the path to justice & peace."

For Dr Amrita Kapur, Secretary General of WILPF, #PeaceIs collective leadership that crosses borders & challenges the systems of capitalism, colonialism, militarism & patriarchy. "Institutions may be failing us, but young people are already charting a more radical path forward!"

Peace is not only the absence of missiles — it's the presence of communities mobilizing, women leading & spaces that protect & connect. “This is the kind of peace Ukrainian women are building,” said Sabine Freizer Gunes of UN Women Ukraine, where our 🤝 has supported 100+ women’s orgs.

In a world that feels hopeless, peacebuilding is about action. For our partner Taban Shoresh, founder of TheLotusFlower & spokesperson for the Action Network on Forced Displacement, #PeaceIs is lived, not imagined — and it is women's leadership that carries it forward, every day.

🌍 Peace is all of us. On 17 Sept, WPS co-hosted the inaugural #PeaceIsAllOfUs Summit with @WPHFund & WILPF at LSE, launching a global campaign to redefine peace as justice, feminist leadership & collective action. Read more here⬇️ lnkd.in/eWhAFH4s
