At the heart of the buffer zone, voices from across communities gathered to discuss how peace can only be real when it is inclusive.

Why Inclusion Matters:

- Because peace without women, youth, and marginalized voices is incomplete.

- Because dialogue must reflect the diversity of Cyprus, not just the hegemonic.

Women transforms the buffer zone from a line of division into a shared space of hope.

This panel reminded us that reconciliation is not just about ending conflict—it’s about building a society where everyone belongs.

Women Making Peace: Grassroots Intervention for a United Cyprus' is an EU project funded by the European Union under the Aid Programme for the Turkish Cypriot community and implemented by the Center for Gender Equality (KIIF) in collaboration with the Cyprus Peace and Dialogue Centre (CPDC).
