The experiences of women who work within local communities offer valuable insights to policymakers on how to integrate the Women, Peace and Security Agenda across the Triple Nexus. Local women peacebuilders are engaged in the diverse spectrum of activities, including responding to the challenges of climate change, development, disaster risk reduction (DRR), and conflict prevention. They are able to leverage on each other’s expertise by coming together in regional women mediator networks. Yet, there is little clarity among policymakers about the type of support regional women mediators networks require and who can provide this support.

This summary note, originating from a CSW-side event co-organized by the Pacific Women Mediators Network, the Mediterranean Women Mediators Network, the Permanent Missions of Italy and the Marshall Islands to the United Nations, and UN Women, highlights key recommendations for policymakers on how to effectively support women mediators’ networks in addressing intersecting crises.
