Civil society organizations (CSOs) around the world are working to strengthen peace and equality in communities at the national and international levels. CSOs and women’s non-governmental organizations play a critical role in driving change and commitments to women, peace, and security (WPS). They implement resolutions in conflict situations; strive to make decision-making inclusive; document; organize; and differentiate between those involved in conflict based on need. Civil society organizations represent one of the most important arenas for women to empower themselves and engage in peace actions, thereby strengthening the path from war to peace.
