Abstract
Roy advances a compelling case for the importance to establish a narrative of women as peacebuilders while reflecting on their international experiences as well as their ingenuity as stakeholders. Their interventions have fundamentally promoted conflict resolution and reconciliation that has proven essential for post-conflict agreements. Roy argues that the participation of women in Syrian peace processes will provide critical gender social support to enhance reconciliation and consolidate final power sharing agreements.
