About Women’s International Peace Centre

Women’s International Peace Centre, formerly Isis-WICCE, is a feminist organization founded in 1974 and based in Kampala, Uganda. Our mission is to ignite women’s leadership, amplify their voices, and deepen their impact in creating peace. Our WEAVE model intersects research, evidence-based advocacy, holistic healing, skills, and movement-building to advance women’s leadership for peace. The Peace Centre works in Africa and Asia, at a regional and global level, with women war survivors, women human rights defenders, and women’s rights organizations to amplify women’s voices and advocate for policies addressing the impact of conflict on women and communities.

Background

In 2025, the Women’s International Peace Centre marks a significant milestone, 30 years of Amplifying Women’s Voice and Power across Africa and globally. To celebrate this journey, we are running a year-long campaign highlighting our impact, stories of transformation, and vision for the future under the theme #30YearsAndBOLD.
