PATH – Peace Advocacy Training Hub

ATH : Peace Advocacy Training Hub is a five-month project dedicated to strengthening the leadership and advocacy capacities of young women peacebuilders from Libya, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.

Why this project?
Across these countries, women continue to play a vital yet under-recognized role in peacebuilding and democratic reform. Despite systemic barriers; ranging from political exclusion to shrinking civic space, women are mediators, advocates, and community leaders. PATH responds to these realities by investing in their leadership, skills, and regional solidarity.

What will PATH do?
Over the course of five months (September 2025 – January 2026), PATH will:

• Deliver a structured online training programme in Arabic, combining leadership, peacebuilding, negotiation, advocacy, and digital communications.
• Facilitate mentoring and peer exchange with regional experts in research, storytelling, creative media, and digital campaigning.
• Support participants in developing joint advocacy and storytelling initiatives to amplify women’s voices in peace and political reform processes.

The programme directly supports 20 young women leaders (ages 18–35) from the four target countries, while indirectly reaching their communities and networks engaged in peace and reform efforts.

PATH seeks to create a more favourable environment for women’s meaningful participation in peacebuilding and decision-making, ensuring their perspectives shape sustainable, inclusive futures.
