Women Peace Makers

Women Peace Makers (WPM) is Cambodia’s leading organization working on issues of gender and peacebuilding. Founded in 2003, WPM envisions a peaceful and gender just society where everyone, regardless of identity and ability, can reach their full potential and live free from violence. Today’s WPM is the culmination of almost two decades of action and learning in the field with longstanding and well recognized history of intervening in violent situations for women in Cambodia and has developed a strong base of programming to raise awareness, empower women, and advocate for change in the community and conflict settings. WPM is grounded in its approach and community voices inform all of its continued learning and strategic directions. Currently, WPM works at the local level with grassroots communities, at the national level with civil society and key stakeholders, and at the regional level with other NGOs, universities and gender and peacebuilding networks in neighboring countries.
