Who are women-of-faith in the context of politics and peacebuilding? What do they do and why do they do it? This book examines the challenges, achievements, and motivations of women peacebuilders who are driven by their faith to enhance gender equality, justice, and security. Women-of-faith peacebuilders make major contributions to attentive, relational, compassionate, and community-based peacebuilding, and promote the mandate of the UN Security resolution 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security.
