A powerful reminder that women are not just affected by conflict they are leaders, mediators, and peacebuilders at the #WMS2026 in Bamenda. A key milestone was the launch of the North West Regional Women Mediators Network, advancing women's leadership in peacebuilding processes.

What began as survival for many women has gradually become a mark of leadership. Women are now mediating conflicts, mentoring young people, organizing community support systems, creating spaces for dialogue, and contributing to peacebuilding processes within their communities.

Peacebuilding is stronger when women work together, not in isolation. Strong networks create space for mentorship, collaboration, shared learning & collective leadership for sustainable peace. #WomenPeacebuilders #WomenMediators #SustainablePeace @FemWiseAfrica @WMCMediators

Inclusive peace is impossible when women are excluded from decision making spaces. Women are leading peacebuilding efforts, yet barriers still silence their voices. It’s time to create spaces where women are heard, valued, and empowered to lead. @WMCMediators @FemWiseAfrica

In times of conflict, women carry the heaviest burdens yet they remain powerful builders of peace, healing, and resilience. Including women in peace processes at grassroots creates stronger and more sustainable communities. #WomenPeacebuilders #Peacebuilding #WomenLeadership

Come have a seat, let’s build peace where decisions are made. Track 1 is where policies are shaped, but lasting peace must reflect the voices and realities from Track 2 and Track 3 communities. Sustainable peace is not just negotiated it is connected. #Peacebuilding #Mediation

In Bamenda Pope Leo XIV delivered a powerful reminder: “It takes a moment to destroy, but rebuilding can take a lifetime.” In a region shaped by years of conflict, he recognized the efforts of the women & called for peace that is not imposed, but rooted in dignity & protection.
