ASEAN Women For Peace Registry (AWPR)

Take stock of its women experts in peace processes

The ASEAN Women for Peace Registry (AWPR) is a means to take stock of its women experts in peace processes, in accordance with the purposes and principles of the ASEAN Charter, and pursuant to the function of the ASEAN-IPR to "pool expertise and support of ASEAN bodies" as stipulated in the Institute's TOR.

The AWPR also aims to contribute to the implementation of the 'Joint Statement on Promoting Women, Peace and Security in ASEAN' (adopted by the ASEAN Leaders on 13 November 2017 during the 31st ASEAN Summit), which encouraged the integration of gender perspectives in all conflict prevention initiatives and strategies.

The inaugural of the AWPR was launched on 13 December 2018 in Cebu City, the Philippines.
