Since 2001, WFWP Europe & Middle East has staged a roaming annual Women’s Leadership Conference, giving established and rising women leaders a forum to swap tools for peacebuilding, human dignity and sustainable development.

 

Its recent cycle shows the series’ breadth: the 20 th gathering in Larnaca, Cyprus (3–5 Nov 2023) took up “Transforming our World through Advancing Peace: a Culture of Peace and Human Dignity” WFWP Europe; the 21 st in Warsaw, Poland (8–10 Nov 2024) centred on “Women Leading the Change: towards Peacebuilding, Justice and Social Transformation” WFWP Europe; and the forthcoming 22 nd edition in Tirana, Albania (24–26 Oct 2025) will explore “Pathways to Peace and Development through Women’s Initiatives” WFWP Europe.

 

Complementing this flagship series, WFWP also sponsors an annual Women’s Conference for Peace in the Middle East—run since 1997 in venues from Beirut to the UN centres in Geneva and Vienna—where ministers, NGO heads and scholars craft declarations that feed into UN processes and national policy agendas WFWP Europe.

 

Together, these conferences weave a continent-spanning network of principled female leadership, intercultural dialogue and concrete action for peace.
