The Women Peace Mediators Germany Network (WPM) is made up of women peace mediators from Germany, who have experience working at the track 1 level of international peace processes. The network supports the equal participation of both women and men in peace processes in order to achieve more inclusive peace agreements, thus creating more sustainable peace processes.
The WPM advocate for:
The network is run on a voluntary basis. It does not receive donations or grants.
The WPM advocate for:
- An increase in the selection of women as mediators for track I peace processes. Currently, only 6% of peace processes are mediated by women mediators. Women and men should be equally represented as lead mediators in international track I mediation processes. Decision-making bodies should nominate and appoint more women mediators to leadership positions in track 1 peace processes.
- The recognition that methodological mediation expertise, alongside political experience, is an essential competence of lead mediators in track 1 peace processes. Thus, both competencies should be equally considered when nominating/selecting lead mediators/special representatives/special envoys.
The network is run on a voluntary basis. It does not receive donations or grants.
