Tools for Peacebuilding

The Women Preventing Violent Extremism Thought for Action Kit is intended to engage discussions on key issues related to the role of women and preventing violent extremism (PVE). This document is for policy makers, practitioners and academics who are interested in understanding “why gender matters” in preventing violent extremism. We think of it as a thought kit more than a tool kit, that is— a collection of experts’ essays and practical exercises designed to help guide local activists and practitioners to engage in reflection and dialogue on violent extremism. In addition, we hope to bring greater awareness to the diverse set of experiences that women and women’s organizations are dealing with violent extremist ideologies.

Le présent guide est le résultat de deux années de partenariat entre l’USIP et le ministère américain des affaires étrangères. Pendant ces deux années, l’USIP a conçu, développé et piloté un cours de base sur l’état de droit pour l’Institut International pour la Justice et l’Etat de Droit. Les quatre cours pilotes ont été dispensé entre novembre 2014 et juillet 2015 à des personnels des services juridique, pénal, de la police, judiciaire et de la société civile de classe intermédiaire et de rangs supérieurs. Les cours étaient essentiellement centrés sur les pays en voie de transition ; toutefois, les messages centraux dans ce guide sont applicables à tous les contextes, et les exemples concrets apportés proviennent des leçons tirées des six continents.

This guide is the product of a two-year partnership between USIP and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau for Counterterrorism, during which USIP designed, developed and piloted a foundation rule of law course for the International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law. The four 5-day pilot courses were delivered between November 2014 and July 2015 to mid- and senior-level legal, penal, police, judicial and civil society personnel from fifteen countries across Africa and the Middle East. The courses primarily focused on countries in transition; however, the core messages in this guide are applicable across all contexts, and the practical examples provided draw on lessons from six continents.

This Peacebuilding Toolkit for Educators is designed to support the work of educators as peacebuilders. We believe that young people have tremendous capacity, as individuals and as a community, to learn about and contribute to international conflict management, and that educators can channel students’ energy and enthusiasm in positive ways.
