The Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has long been championed as a pathway for designing and implementing polices that improve women’s inclusion in all facets of peacebuilding. On June 6, USIP hosted international attendees of the 2023 WPS Focal Points Network for a discussion on how WPS can be applied to diverse policy initiatives and how partnership with civil society can enhance adaptability, inclusivity and effective implementation of this framework for democratic change.
