Review
Isis International launched its initiative to strengthen Women’s Participation in Peace Building in 2009. Called “The Cultural Politics of Conflict, Peace and the UNSCR 1325: Strategising and Capacity Building”, this initiative continues Isis International’s commitment to strengthen women’s participation in peace building through: feminist action research, skills and capacity building and multi stakeholder dialogue. It uses creative methodologies such as story telling and informal dialogues that allow women to surface their experiences in their homes and communities as they strive for a peaceful and sustainable life. To begin with, Isis International launched the initiative in Indonesia and the Philippines. Its partner organisations in these countries are: Centre Studies of Indonesia Eastern Region, Indonesia and BALAI Rehabilitation Centre Inc., Philippines.
