The Women’s International Peace Centre (formerly Isis-WICCE), founded in 1974 and based in Kampala, Uganda, is a feminist organisation committed to igniting women’s leadership, amplifying their voices, and supporting their impact in creating peace. We use our WEAVE model, which intersects research, evidence-based advocacy, holistic healing, skills and movement building, to equip women human rights defenders with necessary tools, build networks, and advance leadership for peace.

Our work spans across Africa and Asia, at regional and global levels, working with women war survivors, women human rights defenders, and women’s rights organisations. We advocate for policies and programmes addressing the impact of conflict on women and communities. Our strategic plan for 2024-2028 focuses on amplifying the voices and agency of women and women’s rights organisations to build and sustain inclusive peace in Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nepal, South Sudan, and Uganda.
