Our Purpose
It's our story and yours
Women’s Platform is a feminist membership organisation working to achieve gender equality for women and girls in Northern Ireland and make their voices heard in Northern Ireland heard at national and international level.
Our vision is of a Northern Ireland where women and girls, in all our diversity, can live our lives as we choose, in safety and with dignity, free from misogynistic and patriarchal pressures and stereotypes, and supported by policies that meet our needs.

Thursday 20 March, 2.30pm GMT /10.30am EST/5.30pm AST online
This event will explore experiences of women peacebuilders in post conflict regions over the last 30 years and highlight key learning on how women have built networks, negotiated divisions and achieved change. There will be an emphasis on grassroots movements, and exploring how human rights mechanisms including the Beijing Platform for Action have contributed to the wider WPS agenda. Speakers will explore learning from Northern Ireland and Iraq as well as other post conflict regions, and will also look forward to how women can gain a more equal role in peacebuilding as well as decision making at all times.
Details of speakers will be added as speakers are confirmed.
