Documentation, Analysis, DisseminationWomen’s successful work in rebuilding societies devastated by war, defending human rights, and instituting democratic structures has frequently been lost or undervalued because it has not been documented.WPP cooperates with existing archives and researchers to document grassroots women's peace initiatives, by continuing to collect and examine contemporary case histories of women’s nonviolent strategies for social inclusion, civil society and conflict resolution. Documentation includes identifying the most difficult obstacles women face in making peace; the most successful strategies women have developed to overcome these obstacles; the specific skills that women have developed or lacked that led to their success or failure; and what training the activists received or developed to implement their strategy.
