The League of Arab States in collaboration with UN Women Regional Office for Arab States (ROAS) have taken the lead to establish the Arab Women Mediators Network, pursuant to the ongoing cooperation towards the advancement of the status of women and girls in the Arab region. The Arab Women Mediators Network functions within the framework of the Regional Strategy and Executive Action Plan on the Protection of Arab Women: Peace and Security, which serves to provide implementation tools for UNSCR 1325 (2000) across Arab member states.
The challenges and impediments brought by wars and armed conflict in the Arab region have generated widespread instability and insecurity, particularly threatening the welfare of women and girls. It has been, therefore, important for Arab women to establish their own network of Arab mediators to bring together Arab women from all member states who have the expertise and leadership capacity to take part in mediation and peacebuilding efforts. The Network serves as an opportunity for Arab women to share their own expertise in conflict prevention and peaceful settlement, taking into account lessons of women involved in the establishment of peaceful solutions to conflicts.
