The Latin American Network of Women, Peace, and Security (LAMPS Network) held its third meeting in Bogotá, Colombia, from February 25 to 27, 2025. The gathering brought together 45 women from eight countries—Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Spain, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, and Venezuela—and representatives from Latin American diasporas. All participants actively engage in peacebuilding and human rights advocacy from a feminist and territorial perspective. A delegation from ICIP, a founding member of the LAMPS Network since 2020, also participated in the event.
The LAMPS Network seeks to foster critical knowledge, collective action, and innovation on the Women, Peace, and Security agenda in Latin America from a feminist perspective. Care and dialogue, essential tools for advancing peace and democracy in the region, are central to its mission.
Beyond strengthening the Network’s collective identity, political agenda, and advocacy efforts, the meeting served as a platform to exchange reflections, experiences, and proposals on feminist approaches to dialogue. It also laid the groundwork for a forthcoming report on implementing UN Security Council Resolution 1325 in Latin America, marking its 25th anniversary.
Through initiatives like this, the LAMPS Network aims to connect regional and global efforts, shape public policy, and amplify women’s voices in decision-making spaces.
