Context
Women peace activists face a variety of threats to their safety and security, which may be psychological, physical, political, digital and financial. Organization aims to update, develop and implement policies and an internal operational system for Integrated Security to address and prevent security threats to women and men in the WILPF network. In addition, WILPF seeks to strengthen other policies and procedures that are key to its staff, sections and partners wellbeing, safety and security, particularly on the issue of safeguarding. While WILPF has policies and procedures in place to meet the basic requirements for safeguarding, there are gaps that require improvements in our policies and processes, particularly as they apply to sections, partners and other external actors. WILPF seeks a robust safeguarding approach, while ensuring that our policies and practices reflect our feminist approach, are sensitive and responsive to challenges, restraints and resources in the contexts in which partners and sections operate.
