Women shaping peace after war

The Berghof Foundation Feature summarizes how women ex‑combatants from resistance and liberation movements across El Salvador, Guatemala and Colombia continue to lead and heal through peer‑networking, storytelling, memory work and political empowerment long after peace agreements are signed. These enduring networks support solidarity, identity recovery and collective agency - amplifying often marginalized voices and enabling women to influence peacebuilding and post‑war transition processes sustainably.
