Ways Syrian Women Must be Included in the Upcoming Peace Talks

The WILPF intiative focuses on the Syrian peace talks and the need for women to be included in them.  WILPF points to numerous reasons why the inclusion of Syrian women in the talk could lead to a fuller, richer peace.  As numerous studies have shown, the substantive inclusion of women in peace talks makes them more likely to be implemented and last.  Some options stated in which women can participate are at the negotiating table, in formal and informal discussion, and as part of the mediation team.
