Youth, Peace & Security Fund

Youth are the power behind real change Current funding systems are failing young people. The Youth, Peace & Security (YPS) Fund aims to change that. sfcg.org/the-youth-peac…

Working together with young people to realise their rights and desire to engage is not only an opportunity, but also an imperative for those who have the courage to challenge inequities, shift power, and drive real progress in solving the world's most pressing issues. #Yes4YPS

The #NA4P highlights positive peace: not simply the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice and strong relationships. Thank you @gnwp_gnwp for hosting this #WomensAgenda4Peace tweet-a-thon. We are enjoying taking in these perspectives from around the world!

For sustainable peace, we believe that social, cultural, and political barriers that limit women’s full participation in peacebuilding processes should be addressed first. #WomensAgenda4Peace #InternationalDayOfPeace

Nurturing peace can be done by: 1️⃣ Implement relevant resolutions related to #WomenPeaceSecurity 2️⃣ Critically engage in dialogues to understand perspectives & formulate effective solutions 3️⃣ Include women & youth in policy making & decision making related to peace

We've all heard about this statistic right? Women’s participation increases the probability of a peace agreement to last 15 years by 35%. Meaningful inclusion of women is the key! #PeaceDay2022 #WomensAgenda4Peace

@lunakc13 @gnwp_gnwp @VerlaineDiane @Jamiejhagen @ToniHaastrup @Beatrijelena @WPSHACompact @YPSfund @rn_wps We must begin to engage more with rural communities and local peace initiatives, especially those working with people at the grassroots level. It is only by engaging with the local people that peace, security, and stability can be Inclusive and sustained. #WomenAAgenda4Peace

How can we create bottom-up peace? How can we break the status quo to progressive & inclusive peace where no woman is left behind? #WomensAgenda4Peace @gnwp_gnwp @VerlaineDiane @StephnyDoublee @Jamiejhagen @ToniHaastrup @Beatrijelena @WPSHACompact @YPSfund @rn_wps
