OVERVIEW

As part of its efforts to build constituencies of peace in contexts of violent conflict, WISCOMP supports initiatives in regions such as Jammu and Kashmir, Gujarat, and the Northeast.WISCOMP also facilitates similar initiatives between students, peace activists, educationists and journalists from different regions in South Asia such as Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.

These initiatives for peace seek to:

• Initiate collaborative relationships between policymakers, grassroots’ workers, the media, NGOs and educationists so that the voices of a range of stakeholders, particularly women, can be mainstreamed in social change processes.

• Empower women and men from regions of protracted conflict with the skills and expertise to engage in processes of conflict transformation in their local communities and regions as well as in official peace negotiations.

• Transcend geographical boundaries and the conventional hierarchies of age, gender, class and social status to learn from the perspectives and experiences of people in conflict negotiation and peacebuilding.
 

 
Wiscomp was established as part of the efforts of the Foundation for Universal Responsibility to build a culture of coexistence and nonviolence that is gender-sensitive and inclusive. A not-for-profit, non-sectarian, non-denominational organization, the Foundation promotes universal responsibility in a manner that celebrates a diversity of beleifs and practices, and that contributes to a global ethic of nonviolence, coexistence and gender equity. The work of the Foundation is global in its reach and transcends nationalist political agendas.
