Peacebuilding Journal.
WISCOMP (www.wiscomp.org)
is a South Asian initiative of the Foundation for Universal

the interface of gender, security and peacebuilding. The WISCOMP
Peacebuilding Journal will seek to meet the need for generating
literature and resources on peacebuilding theory, research and

policy advocacy, women’s roles in peacebuilding, humanitarian
assistance, nonviolent action, education, and so on. The journal
will serve as a space where voices from the field dialogue with the
worlds of policymaking, academia and research.
