ICIP fosters research on Women and Peace

May 24th is the International Women’s Day for Peace and Disarmament, a date meant to remind us of the violence that women suffer during armed conflicts and post conflict situations and, also, to vindicate their active participation in peace negotiations and the prevention of conflicts, and their activism.
Coinciding with this commemorative date, ICIP has elaborated a compendium of materials and publications produced by the Institute which tackle the topic “Women and Peace”. It includes different publications, exhibitions and audiovisuals, as well as the resources on the work of women for peace available at the ICIP Library, specialized in peace, security and conflicts.
