In May 2022, the UN Women Regional Office for Arab States and the Government of Finland organized a two-day workshop titled “Women Building Peace in the Arab States: Regional Synergies and Cross-Learning” to highlight women’s mediation efforts in their communities and the lessons learned from interventions under the regional WPS programme and the Syria WPS programme. The workshop’s objectives were to explore lessons learned from women’s peacebuilding work in their communities across Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen, as well as good practices and strategies to strengthen women’s participation in local mediation. This report summarizes discussions about the local contexts of each country as well as the challenges and lessons learned from these contexts.
