About Women in Security, Conflict Management and Peace

Since 1999, WISCOMP is a pioneering South Asian research, training, and advocacy initiative foregrounding women’s leadership in peace & security and promoting cultures of pluralism & coexistence. It is an initiative of The Foundation for Universal Responsibility of HH The Dalai Lama- a not-for-profit, non-sectarian, non-denominational organization- established in 1990 with the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to The Dalai Lama. WISCOMP formally introduced the discourse on Gender, Peace & Security in South Asia – then nascent, today evolving – at a time when it had not been given a theoretical and ideational framework; prior to UNSCR 1325 (2000). For over two decades, WISCOMP has been building its research-praxis around peacebuilding using an intersectional lens; working with women and youth—facilitating dialogues, capacity building trainings, developing new pedagogies for peace, mentorship—to address overt, structural and cultural violence through transformative and sustainable approaches. WISCOMP’s network of senior, mid-career and young scholars and practitioners spans across academic, non-profit, media, law, and government sectors. Over 250 publications (in-house and commissioned) stand testimony to the richness of this vast network.
