As a network of more than 300 Sites of Conscience in 65 countries, we engage tens of millions of people every year in correcting this historic erasure. Through powerful participatory programs that highlight the lost histories of women across the globe and provide platforms for them to engage in furthering peace and justice in their communities today, the Women of Conscience Initiative takes a multifaceted approach to its work, securing women’s place past and present through a combination of activities, including grants, mentorships and truth-telling projects. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f1898098402203130b796f2/t/5f73a6a6975d61362f927b66/1603914167837/WhatsApp+Image+2020-09-28+at+4.28.40+PM+%284%29.jpeg Our Work - Member Spotlight While many international organizations dip in and out of countries and communities in need, imposing a “one size fits all” approach to human rights abuses, the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience is grounded in the belief that if true change is going to come to a conflict torn area, it must come from the bottom up. Our members - now numbering over 300 in 65 countries - know their communities best. Our mission is to empower them through grants, training, and connecting them to national and international truth and justice processes to make the change their communities need. Only when communities own their stories and avenues for change can true peace take hold. Here are a few examples of the exceptional work our members are doing for women in their communities. https://www.womenofconscience.org/donate daily 0.75 2020-11-12 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f1898098402203130b796f2/t/5fada05d4aff1f2f85f46c51/1605214325910/WOC_Yo+Yo+Ma.jpg Donate https://www.womenofconscience.org/events daily 0.75 2021-03-04 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f1898098402203130b796f2/t/5f99d651374f7c1d18f7ec0c/1605293966052/Untitled+design+%282%29.png Events - Women and Voting Rights Sites of Conscience have an important role to play in facilitating constructive conversations and creating spaces where visitors, particularly those who may not always agree, listen to each other in new ways.

In this session, panelists spoke about specific challenges women face in sharing their stories and suggested concrete strategies for overcoming them through platforms that take into account women's post-conflict needs.

New Perspectives on Monuments in Public Landscapes June 24 and 26, 2020 For centuries now, the Haudenosaunee women of New York State have lived equally among their male counterparts in a way their non-Native women neighbors often have not. In fact, when women in the state began to organize for their rights in 1848, they looked to Haudenosaunee women for inspiration and guidance. This history served as a starting point for presentations and a discussion that explored ways in which history, art and activism intersect in both the past and present-day. From conversations around confederate memorials and the memorialization of Native American heritage, public dialogue that addresses the historical exclusion inherent in many current existing representations of marginalized groups is profoundly important. This panel discussion and half-day workshop aimed to help museums and communities deepen their understandings of feminist and indigenous ways of utilizing landscapes, objects and dialogic thinking for memorialization and justice. Panelists: Linda Norris, Senior Specialist, Membership and Practice, International Coalition of Sites of Conscience Michelle Schenandoah, Founder and CEO, Rematriation Magazine Indigenous Concepts Consulting; Traditional Member of the Oneida Nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy Jolene Rickard, Associate Professor in the History of Art and Visual Studies Department and affiliated faculty with the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program at Cornell University, Citizen of the Tuscarora Nation Sally Roesch Wagner, Executive Director, Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and Author of “Sisters in Spirir Haudenosaunee Influence on Early American Feminists” Julia Watson, Landscape Architect, Julia Watson Studio and Author of “Lo-TEK: Design by Radical Indigenism.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f1898098402203130b796f2/t/5f9335d2a04e831c1f93c0c7/1602687985698/vow.png Events - Women and COVID-19 May 21, 2020 The COVID-19 pandemic has been particularly harmful to women in ways that must be addressed if women’s economic stability and emotional and physical welfare are to be sustained after the pandemic’s end. According to UN Women, “Globally, women make up 70% of workers in the health and social sector, and they do three times as much unpaid care work at home as men.” In addition, with COVID-19-related restrictions on public movement, women are facing increasing limitations on their right to reproductive and sexual health, while women who are sheltering in their homes alongside abusive partners are facing the most dehumanizing and unbearable of challenges. In this webinar, partners and members of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience discussed the specific hurdles women have been facing during the pandemic and suggested strategies for support. Panelists: Fatou Baldeh, Founder and CEO of Women in Liberation and Leadership - WILL, The Gambia Rita Izsák-Ndiaye, Member and Rapporteur of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, Senegal Farah Tanis, Co-Founder of Black Women's Blueprint and Curator of the Museum of Women's Resistance, USA https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f1898098402203130b796f2/t/5f9335d2a04e831c1f93c0bd/1602687956943/Women+in+war.png Events - Women in War: Stopping Sexual Conflict in War May 29, 2020 Adopted in April 2019, the UN Resolution 2467 calls for a survivor-centered approach to the prevention of sexual violence against women in conflict, and emboldens efforts to strengthen justice and accountability around the issue. This webinar brought together a panel of experts to discuss the importance of UN Resolution 2467and the equally important next steps that need to be taken to guarantee that perpetrators are held accountable, that survivors’ needs are met through a holistic range of practical and sustainable support, and that NGOs, activists and other allies can equip women with the training and networks they need to be active leaders on this issue.

In honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience hosted a practical session on the best strategies for collecting women’s stories and incorporating these in the official and grand narratives through a variety of platforms, visual, aural and text-based.

On March 14th, three Sites of Conscience worked to change this by foregrounding the history of women’s imprisonment and the ways in which women’s individual trauma has led to reconciliation, healing and advocacy.

Despite this, many elected women in Nepal, as elsewhere, still struggle to have their voices heard and can be reluctant to assume leadership positions. At NEFAD’s request, starting in Fall of 2020, ICSC will connect – via monthly video chats – elected women officials in Nepal with members of the Women of Conscience Leadership Council, creating bonds and strengthening their self-confidence, communication skills and effectiveness as leaders. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f1898098402203130b796f2/t/5fa04369a197116b08b63ece/1604338937424/March_Sri-Lanka.jpg Mentorship and Exchange - Sri Lanka and Nepal https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f1898098402203130b796f2/t/5fa045b09d8c15417f0e0d3f/1604339123603/img_1513_48323600977_o.jpg Mentorship and Exchange - Sri Lanka and Nepal https://www.womenofconscience.org/judy-barsalou daily 0.75 2021-09-23 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f1898098402203130b796f2/t/614cc53793fdec50ed227327/1632421187524/JB-Portrait-low-res1-copy-1-223x300.jpg Judy Barsalou - Judy Barsalou Judy Barsalou is a political scientist whose career has focused largely on building bridges between social scientists, human rights activists, conflict management practitioners, and policymakers.
