"Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) is the recognition of women’s impact on peace and security decision-making, and the disproportionate impact that conflict has on women. The goal of WPS is to promote policy initiatives that ensure women’s participation in peace and security, women’s adequate protection during conflict, and the incorporation of gender perspectives into decision-making"
