Abstract
In Fall 2020, a rapid review of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women peace activists in
Colombia, South Sudan, the Philippines and Ukraine was conducted as part of an ongoing partnership
between the Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP) and the New York University Center
for Global Affairs (NYU CGA). The review found that the crisis has delayed implementation of peace
agreements, in particular their gender provisions, shifted women’s peace advocacy to online spaces,
impacted the membership composition of women’s peace groups, and diverted women’s
organizational energies into humanitarian action to support community resilience.
