Research Report - Personal Impact, Professional Resilience: The Psychosocial Implications of Peacebuilding for Women Mediators

This report explores the psychosocial impact of conflict transformation work on 28 experienced

women mediators and peacebuilders from the Women Mediators across the Commonwealth

(WMC) network. Respondents were from Commonwealth countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia,

the Caribbean, Europe, and Pacific and Australasia. Through research methodologies that drew on

participants’ professional experiences, the report provides an overview of the personal impact of their

work, their professional resilience in the face of challenging factors, and the support mechanisms

that would benefit women mediators and peacebuilders working with conflict-affected populations.
