Women, Peace & Security (WPS)
 
Empowering Women as Agents of Peace, Security and Resilience
 
Based in Geneva—a global centre for diplomacy and human rights—Women Alb World (WAW) seeks to advance the Women, Peace and Security agenda, guided by UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and its four pillars: participation, prevention, protection, and relief and recovery.
 
Our aim is to connect international peacebuilding frameworks with the lived realities of Albanian-speaking women across the global diaspora, including those affected by conflict, displacement and their lasting consequences.
 
We believe that sustainable peace requires more than the absence of conflict. It requires equal access to justice, physical and digital security, and women’s full and meaningful participation in decision-making.
 
Strategic Areas of the WPS Programme
 
1. WPS Hub & International Advocacy
 
Global Representation: Amplifying the voices and experiences of Albanian-speaking women in discussions on peacebuilding, security policy and transitional justice, in Geneva and internationally.
 
Institutional Partnerships: Seeking partnerships with relevant international organizations, including UN Women, DCAF and the OSCE, to advance inclusive approaches to peace, security and diaspora participation.
 
Policy & Insights: Developing community-informed research and recommendations on women’s contributions to conflict prevention, recovery and social cohesion.
 
2. Social Justice & Digital Security
 
Rights Awareness & Access to Support: Providing accessible information on fundamental rights, protection against gender-based violence and available support services in countries of residence.
 
Cyber Safety & Digital Resilience: Developing practical workshops and resources to help women—including entrepreneurs, activists and students—recognize and respond to cyberstalking, online harassment and other digital threats.
 
Conflict & Displacement: Raising awareness of the challenges facing women affected by conflict and displacement, and supporting access to relevant information, community networks and specialist services.
 
3. “Peace Ambassadors” Youth Leadership Programme
 
Empowering the Next Generation: Creating opportunities for young women across the diaspora, including university students, to contribute to peacebuilding and community leadership.
 
Conflict Mediation & Diplomacy: Developing training in conflict prevention, community mediation, public diplomacy and inclusive peacebuilding.
 
Mentorship & Recognition: Seeking mentorship contributions from experienced women in diplomacy, law, peacebuilding and community leadership. Participants who complete the programme would receive a WAW certificate of completion and recognition as WAW Young Peace Ambassadors.
 
4. Support & Guidance Network
 
Supportive Point of Contact: Developing a designated contact channel for women experiencing insecurity, discrimination or social isolation, with clear privacy procedures and information about the scope of support available.
 
Professional Referrals: Building a referral network to help women access qualified legal professionals, mental health practitioners, community mediators and specialist support organizations in their countries of residence.
 
Community Connection: Strengthening peer networks that reduce isolation, encourage mutual support and enable women to participate more fully in community life.
 
From Vision to Action
 
The programme will be developed in phases, with clear responsibilities, realistic timelines and measurable objectives. Activities will be introduced as partnerships, expertise and resources are secured, with transparent communication about the support available.
