It is also because talks suffer from the absence of women. Though governments and multilateral organizations acknowledge the critical role women play in peacebuilding, they remain largely absent from high-level international peace negotiations and from peace talks around the globe. 3 In 2010, the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) found that women comprise less than 10 percent of negotiators and less than 3 percent of the signatories to peace agreements. The UN has never appointed a woman as chief mediator. East 1 exchanged views on advancing women's inclusion in mediation and ensuring gender-sensitive processes and agreements. Participants discussed how to increase the prevalence of female mediators, enhance communication and cooperation with women and civil society during negotiations, and how to augment attention to women's priorities and needs in talks. They developed and endorse the specific recommendations for creating more inclusive peace processes at the end of this document. The Institute for Inclusive Security put together the following synthesis of participants' perspectives; their collective expertise provides important insights into the need for improved mediation to create durable peace.
