Accelerating the Impact of Women Peace Leaders

Together with local women peacebuilders and renowned international Women, Peace and Security organizations, the Kroc IPJ identifies the most critical peacebuilding challenges facing women leaders around the world. We then co-develop applied and actionable research to identify evidence-based solutions.

We generate these solutions through our expansive global network of women peacemakers. It's these powerful solutions that drive progress to end cycles of violence and create lasting systemic change.

Donating to the Kroc IPJ's Women, Peace and Security program is a meaningful step towards supporting women peacebuilders.

"The Women PeaceMakers Program allowed me to meet passionate women from different corners of the world, learn from their wisdom and shared experience, and collaborate with other strong women on campus to create an event to honor our guests. This opportunity opened my eyes to see the impact women can have on the world and the power of fighting social injustices together, encouraging and supporting one another."
―Madeleine Koehn M.A. in Peace and Justice
"Discovering the Kroc IPJ's WPS programs was the deciding factor to pursue the MAPJ... By the end of my degree, I had attended the U.N.'s Commission on the Status of Women, met one-on-one with multiple cohorts of Women PeaceMakers, and implemented a new project focused on building resiliency through creativity with Women PeaceMakers... which further equipped me to lead initiatives for lasting change from a place of humility, courage and innovation."
