Since then, it has grown into a leading feminist organisation working in war zones and conflict-affected areas, both within Syria and across the diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organisation strengthens the role of women in both public and private spheres by providing tools, resources, and knowledge. It has helped shape a generation of women who continue to resist violence and build hope amid devastation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award thus recognises the remarkable contribution of <em>Women Now for Development<\/em> to peace, justice, and dignity in Syria\u2014a country deeply affected by repression, armed conflict, and forced displacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the ICIP Peace in Progress Award<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2011, ICIP has presented the Peace in Progress Award annually to publicly acknowledge and honour individuals, organisations, or institutions that have made a significant and lasting contribution to the promotion and construction of peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award consists of public recognition, a sculpture entitled <em>Porta del Sol<\/em> (<em>Gateway to the Sun<\/em>), created by Nobel Peace Prize laureate, artist, and activist Adolfo P\u00e9rez Esquivel, and a financial prize of \u20ac6,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":54387,"template":"","class_list":["post-55148","icip_event","type-icip_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
