We are thrilled to welcome back Ambassador Bonnie Jenkins as the Executive Director of WCAPS!
“Many of the reasons why I established WCAPS in 2017 remain. When there is a loss of peace and security, it is women who continue to bear the brunt. And yet, there remains a lack of those critical perspectives from experts and from those with new ideas on how we address challenges to avoid conflict and war. In many ways, challenges to peace have increased, with conflicts faced by Americans here and the global community abroad. We have unique experiences and cultures that we will continue to draw on to navigate the challenges we face, while also dedicating our efforts to a more unified world. I look forward to working with this community and other entities as we reach back, and strive forward, in ways that will help not only women of color, but importantly, the global community.”
Amb. Bonnie Jenkins, WCAPS Founder and Executive Director
At Women of Color Advancing Peace, Security, and Conflict Transformation (WCAPS), we created a platform devoted to women of color that cultivates a strong voice and network for its members while encouraging dialogue and strategies for engaging in policy discussions on an international scale.
Join WCAPS in empowering a global community of change-makers. Together we can invest in the future of peace and security for all, ensuring that every voice matters.
Your gift is more than a donation—it's a commitment to a safer, more equitable world.
WCAPS AT A GLANCE
“Redefining national security is central to our work at WCAPS. We think a lot about whether traditional definitions of national security are enough when it comes to threats to Americans, particularly women of color, at home and abroad.”
