A Trauma-Informed Pathway to Peace
A Trauma-Informed Pathway to Peace
Across cultures and contexts, women are shaping peace through the way they work. The 2026 Summit highlights the eight-stage pathway that underpins this leadership:
Moral Awakening & Courageous Witnessing
Building Safety and Trust Across Divides
Organising & Mobilising Communities
Strategic Nonviolent Action & Pressure
Rapid Response & Conflict De-escalation
Negotiation & Political Participation
Implementing Peace & Embodying Resilience
Sustaining Long-term Resilience and Intergenerational Healing
These principles form the backbone of peace work across the world, from grassroots organising to high-level diplomacy, and demonstrate that peace is not a single act but a long arc of moral courage, skill, and sustained commitment.
The World Women Summit 2026 – Women Rising for Peace celebrates and strengthens this global movement. It is a gathering of women who are transforming the conditions that allow violence to persist and creating the foundations for a more compassionate and resilient world.

Trauma-Informed Leadership for a World in Transformation
Trauma-Informed Leadership for a World in Trans- formation
Across the world, women are responding to humanity’s most urgent challenges with courage and clarity. They build trust across divides, mobilise communities, prevent violence, open negotiations, and sustain peace long after agreements are signed. Their leadership is both strategic and deeply human—relational, grounded, and fiercely committed to life.
The World Women Summit 2026 – Women Rising for Peace brings these women together to strengthen a growing movement: transforming the conditions that allow violence to persist and laying foundations for a more compassionate, resilient world.
“Peace is not the absence of war, peace is the integration of the wounds of the war and the unification of the fabric of life. This is how space/time heals and war ceases to exist. War then becomes a faint memory in the human psyche. It ceases to be what it is currently – an active player that runs the world”
