The International Civil Society Action Network
The International Civil Society Action Network promotes inclusive and sustainable peace in countries affected by violent conflict, extremism, militarism, and closing political space. Recognizing the gendered impact of conflict and the critical role of women peacebuilders, ICAN fulfills its mission through a dual strategy of shaping and influencing the peace and security policies of governments, and sustaining and strengthening a global movement of innovative locally rooted women peacebuilders to have voice and influence wherever matters of peace, violent conflict, rights, and human security are determined. ICAN brings the word and spirit of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 and the global women, peace and security agenda to life.
