In a new op-ed, GNWP’s Mavic Cabrera Balleza reflects on this year’s UN SG selection and why it must be a feminist woman: “The vocabulary is there: equality, empowerment, parity. But leadership has never embodied it.”

The roadmap is clear:
✅ Localize funding to grassroots organizations
✅ Integrate humanitarian-development-peace sectors
✅ Put women at every decision table
✅ Long-term financing, not 1-year cycles
Because peace without women's leadership? Not sustainable.
The barriers are real:
❌ Financing crisis
❌ Excluded from peace negotiations
❌ Shrinking civic space
❌ Criminalization of WHRDs
But women aren't waiting. They're building peace right now, in the hardest contexts imaginable.
From Ukraine to South Sudan, women are leading humanitarian response, rebuilding communities, & negotiating peace
GNWP🟣 with the Austrian Development Agency under International Partnerships Austria, brought 30+ leaders together to center #WPS in the #TripleNexus
