CIASE and Conciliation Resources have been partnering since 2011 on promoting women’s empowerment in peace processes. Rosa Emilia is also part of the Women Peace and Security Collective, a group of women in Colombia who have launched a new peacebuilding initiative, called the Ethical Pact for a Country in Peace. The Pact calls on Colombian society, policymakers and the international community to support the ‘transformation’ of Colombian society to a peaceful one, by signing up to 15 actions.
