The authors introduce their essay with an overview of women's multiple roles in peacebuilding and the divergent ways peacebuilding is defined and envisioned. The authors use case-studies to illustrate each section. The first section investigates women's grassroots peace-building while the second section documents and analyzes local, national and international NGOs' peace-building policies and programmes. The final section records and analyzes peacebuilding policies and programmes within the many branches of the UN as well as regional organizations. The authors conclude with key lessons for effective peacebuilding and offer additional avenues for futher research into women's peacebuilding activities.
