Engaging Women in Sustaining Peace in Pakistan

A groundbreaking publication documenting the Jaari Women Building Peace Fellowship Cohort II (May-August 2025), where 19 women peacebuilders from across Pakistan co-created feminist frameworks for transformative peace.

Key Recommendations: Mainstream feminist principles into national peace policies (NAP, disaster response), create trauma-healing spaces nationwide, invest in grassroots women leaders in conflict-affected regions, mandate intersectional representation in policy dialogues, strengthen cross-border women's networks across South Asia
