Inclusion is at the heart of lasting peace: Persons with disabilities are not just part of the conversation they are skilled mediators and active peacebuilders. Through mediation training, PWDs are now Certified Professional Mediators (CPMs), equipped to resolve conflicts, champion dialogue and strengthen peaceful, inclusive and resilient communities. Nothing about peace without everyone at the table. @denmarkinkenya @tendasasa #WomenPeaceAndSecurity #Mediation #Inclusion #PWDs #Peacebuilding #WPS
