Reflections from an Inside the Profession Event at the Institute for Diplomacy and International Affairs, by Anna Lig\u0119zowska<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

As part of our Peace and Conflict Transformation<\/em> module<\/a> taught by Dr. Tatevik Mnatsakanyan<\/a> and offered through the MSc Security, Peacebuilding, and Diplomacy<\/a> programme at the Institute for Diplomacy and International Affairs (IDIA)<\/a> we had the privilege of participating in a powerful and thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Sophia Close<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Close represents the UK section of the Women\u2019s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF)<\/a>, one of the world\u2019s oldest and most active feminist peace organisations. She brings over 20 years of experience in policy, research, and programming, having worked with the United Nations, governments, and NGOs. Her work focuses on gender-transformative peacebuilding, inclusive mediation, governance, and Indigenous self-determination. In addition to serving as WILPF UK\u2019s Treasurer and Board Director, she also works as an independent consultant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This talk was part of IDIA\u2019s Inside the Profession<\/em> series, which connects students with seasoned experts in peacebuilding and diplomacy. These sessions not only explore real-world peace and security issues but also offer valuable insights into building a career in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WILPF: A legacy of feminist peace activism<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WILPF was founded in 1915, during the First World War, by women\u2019s rights and peace activists\u2014including Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jane Addams. From the beginning, WILPF has stood by a simple but powerful idea: \u201cPeace is not the absence of war, but the presence of justice.\u201d<\/em> For them, peace is inseparable from social justice and women\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, WILPF continues to campaign against militarism, nuclear weapons, and fascism, while promoting peace through a feminist lens. The organisation holds consultative status at the United Nations and engages with disarmament policy through initiatives like Reaching Critical Will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gendered nature of conflict<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In preparation for Dr Close\u2019s visit, we attended a lecture by Dr Mnatsakanyan on Gender and Conflict Transformation<\/em>. We explored how patriarchal structures not only create inequality but also sustain and legitimise violence. Although the UN only formally recognised the gender dimensions of conflict in 2000 with Security Council Resolution 1325,<\/em> WILPF had been advocating for gender inclusion in peacebuilding processes decades earlier. In fact, it was the first women\u2019s peace organisation to gain permanent consultative status at the UN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research now clearly shows that peace processes are more likely to succeed\u2014and lead to longer-lasting outcomes\u2014when women are meaningfully involved. Yet, women still face systemic exclusion and structural violence during and after conflict. WILPF tackles this on multiple levels: by influencing global policy, and by supporting grassroots women peacebuilders in conflict-affected areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WILPF\u2019s approach is grounded in five core principles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Promoting peaceful conflict resolution<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Opposing militarism and war<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Advancing women\u2019s rights and gender equality<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Challenging the root causes of violence, including patriarchy, capitalism, and racism<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Supporting democratic participation in peace processes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The \u201cLocal Turn\u201d in Peacebuilding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Throughout the Peace and Conflict Transformation module, we also examined the \u201clocal turn\u201d<\/em> in peacebuilding\u2014the idea that peace must be built from the ground up, not just declared by elites or outsiders. This perspective values local voices, lived experiences, and community-driven efforts. WILPF strongly aligns with this approach, actively supporting grassroots women peacebuilders and ensuring their perspectives shape peace processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Learning from a Leader<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Dr Close\u2019s visit left a lasting impact. Her deep expertise, combined with her candid reflections on current global challenges and their impact on women and peace work, gave us a clearer picture of what feminist peacebuilding looks like in practice. She also generously shared career advice\u2014practical, honest, and inspiring\u2014for those of us interested in working in peace and diplomacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The session sparked thoughtful discussion and a wide range of questions, making it one of the most engaging moments of our module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On behalf of everyone in the Peace and Conflict Transformation<\/em> course, I\u2019d like to extend our sincere thanks to Dr Sophia Close for her time and for sharing her invaluable experience with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
