Digitalizing Peacebuilding in the Europe And Central Asia Region: Women, Peace And Security National Action Plans

The brief focuses on how digital tools can support peacebuilding in Europe and Central Asia, particularly through Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) National Action Plans (NAPs). However, the global gender digital divide, especially in conflict-affected areas, continues to limit women's access to these technologies. While digital tools have empowered women peacebuilders to mobilize, advocate, and raise awareness, they also pose challenges such as online harassment and data breaches. The publication suggests that digital tools can prevent online violence, support women’s participation in peace processes, and improve access to information. It also highlights the need for stronger policies and funding to better integrate digitalization into peacebuilding efforts.
