Description
Global issues demand a variety of perspectives,but the current field of international peace and security does not adequatelyreflect the diversity of American society. Women of Color Advancing Peace and Security (WCAPS) was founded by Ambassador Bonnie Jenkins in 2017 to cultivate a strong voice and network for its members, create spaces for dialogue, and contribute to policy formation and implementation. Through mentorship, networking, and partnerships, WCAPS supports leadership and professional development opportunities for women of color working on peace, security, and conflict transformation.
