As the world comes together to celebrate International Women’s Day 2025 on 8th March, Global Peace Women (GPW) and the Global Peace Foundation (GPF) are launching a special campaign to highlight the inspiring stories of women leading change in peacebuilding, service, and community transformation. This initiative, titled Women and Families in Peacebuilding: Catalysts for Transformative Change, will feature 15 remarkable women from the GPW and GPF network who have demonstrated unwavering commitment to advancing global peace and women’s empowerment through their families, communities, and beyond.
Women and families play crucial roles in fostering sustainable and lasting peace. “Peace begins in the home.” Strong families form the foundation of peaceful societies, and when women take the lead in instilling values such as compassion, service, and reconciliation, they lay the groundwork for enduring peace.
Whether through conflict resolution initiatives, community service projects, interfaith dialogue, or grassroots education, women within the GPW and GPF networks continue to prove that their influence extends far beyond the household. Women and families are often at the forefront of healing communities after conflict, fostering reconciliation, and strengthening the fabric of society through education, advocacy, and inter-generational values transmission.
In March, we will be recognizing service-minded women—mothers, educators, faith leaders, and community builders—who embody the principles of peace through action. Their diverse narratives serve as a testament to the profound impact of women in shaping a more peaceful world. By sharing their journeys, we hope to inspire a new generation of women and families to embrace their role in fostering harmony and resilience in their communities.
Follow the campaign on our websites and social media channels to learn more about these women’s journeys and how you, too, can contribute to fostering peace in your own community.
