Leading the Way: Civil Society Movements Reshaping Peace & Security
Our latest report explores the challenges, and alternative solutions to peace, pioneered by women’s rights organisations, and youth movements in Colombia, Ethiopia, and Uganda.
Executive summary
Women-led and women’s rights organisations (WLOs and WROs) are central to peacebuilding, humanitarian response, and community resilience in conflict-affected regions. Yet their leadership is too often underfunded, under-recognised, and excluded from formal peace and security frameworks.
This report presents findings from research conducted by ActionAid across four conflict affected contexts to better understand the realities these movements face, the solutions they offer, and what is needed to support transformative, feminist peace.
