OSCE Women’s Peace Leadership Programme
The OSCE Women’s Peace Leadership Programme is the first strategic deliverable of the Networking Platform for Women Leaders, including Peacebuilders and Mediators. It aims to strengthen the ability of women to meaningfully engage and influence peace processes at all levels. The promotion of women’s meaningful participation in peace and security decision-making processes at all levels is a key priority for the OSCE. The Networking Platform was launched by the OSCE Secretary General Helga Maria Schmid on December 7, 2021.
