Women, Peace and Security
Reclaiming the WPS Agenda for feminist transformation
Amidst a rapidly shifting global order, it is imperative that the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Agenda be reclaimed by our movements and transformed for its continued relevance and impact.
We challenge the “business as usual” approach to WPS and mobilise to advocate for transformative impact. The record levels of military spending, armed conflict, displacement, and humanitarian crisis in our world today demand urgent systematic responses. Increasing women’s participation in unjust systems and processes will not shift power.

Reclaiming the WPS Agenda as transformative tool for shifting power
Reclaiming the WPS Agenda as transformative tool for shifting power means centering prevention as the most vital pillar, creating and implementing effective monitoring and accountability measures, and decentering security.
At WILPF we believe that the whole the whole feminist movement must reimagine feminist collective ways of work, to create spaces for cross-border solidarity, knowledge-sharing and coordinated advocacy.
Our Priorities
- Advocate to reclaim the agenda as a transformative, feminist, WPS Agenda.
- Advocate to prioritise and operationalise prevention as the foundational pillar of the WPS Agenda.
- Hold the UN , regional bodies and national governments to account for implementation of the WPS Agenda at all levels, challenging institutional hypocrisy.
- Mobilise in solidarity with women and feminist movements, particularly in specific conflict and crisis-affected contexts
