This initiative was carried out by SAGAPS, in collaboration with the Rotary Peace Foundation, Makerere University in Uganda, two Sudanese associations (Sit Sitaia and Women Against the War), and several Ukrainian organizations.
The purpose of the project was to foster solidarity and exchange among women leaders from Ukraine and Sudan. Over several months, the initiative organized a series of online and in-person events, including roundtable discussions, where women leaders shared experiences, reflected on their common challenges, and built a sense of solidarity across borders.
During these events, participants collaboratively developed a joint peace appeal, highlighting the essential role of women in peace and security and reaffirming the principles of UN Security Council Resolution 1325.
The final joint peace appeal was published and is now circulating within the peacebuilding community, serving as a call to action to strengthen the inclusion of women in peace processes and decision-making in conflict-affected countries.
This project represents SAGAPS’ commitment to empowering women as agents of positive social change, promoting solidarity, gender equality, and sustainable peace in contexts of conflict.
