The Women PeaceMakers Program recommends a prospect for women privileged who want to deed, contribute to and put together upon their unique peacemaking stories. Women who took pains to terminate violent behavior and safe & sound a just peace rarely proof their occurrence, behavior and imminent as by and large there is no point in time or maybe rejection of recognized learning that would help them to witness their task. The Women PeaceMakers agenda manuscripts the stories and best carry out of international women leaders who are caught up in human rights and peacemaking pains in their home nations.
Peacemakers program is open to women who have been involved in peace processes and who have been active in efforts to secure a just peace, namely, through conflict resolution and civil society participation that is inclusive and honors human rights.
Four peacemakers are selected each year to participate in an eight-week residency at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice (IPJ), located on the University of San Diego campus in San Diego, California.
Women Peacemakers are paired with Peace Writers to document in written form their story of living in conflict and building peace in their communities and nations. Peace Writers interview their peacemakers daily and produce a document that includes narrative stories and complementary components, such as a historical summary of the conflict and a table of best practices in peace building as demonstrated by the work of the peacemaker.

I have been working for promoting Justice, Peace and human rights in Bangladesh society, a male chauvinism society where women are oppressed although women are coming up with their skill and capacity in development at home and in the society. I have been involved in this work for long 25 years and I think this is an opportunity to be a part of this process of being a peacemaker so that my experience in this field of justice, peace and human rights will enrich me to bring further better fruits in our society. Most of the time I have to face conflict events to resolve through mediation outside the court. I believe, resolving conflicts and bringing peace among people is one of our role to play in today’s world because women are taking up more and more part in making peace at home and in our society.
In today’s civil society, women are more active in making peace in conflict zones. But patriarchal society tries to keep women out of this process. My experience show that women are more successful in making peace than the men in most cases. I hope to participate this year in the program and hope the authority will consider my appeal.

Sudanese women had taken part in civil society and development despite many obstacles which hinder their full involvement in this respect. Some women were able to develop national and regional network to attain issues at macro and regional level before our political leaders achieve them. What remains for Sudanese women is developing a gender sensitive approach to address gender unbalances at political constitutional level to address women needs in the new emerging political system since we are viewed as non decision makers-to reach effective roles at civil society and development level in all parts of Sudan.
I apply many time but I did not get the chance to be taken but I hope this time this year my turn will come like anyone who participate in peace makers fellowship so that I come back and engage the women in my new country as we are going to have big role in building the new nation which due to be born in the 9th of July, the Republic of southern Sudan,
As you can read through the media a sharp rise in conflict in Southern Sudan is raising concerns for the safety of civilians and aid workers, less than three months to go before the formal independence of the fledgling nation, officials warn.
