About WOPSI

Women are not only affected by conflict. They are essential to lasting peace.

WOPSI is a women-led initiative advancing practical, inclusive approaches to peace, security and resilience across Nigeria.

Our vision

A peaceful, secure and resilient Nigeria where women are empowered, represented and recognized as strategic leaders in peace, security and development.

Our mission

To empower women to become active leaders and strategic partners in conflict prevention, peacebuilding, security governance, community resilience and sustainable development through leadership, collaboration, advocacy, knowledge exchange and practical action.

Our story

Rooted in the North. National in reach.

WOPSI was created from a clear conviction: women’s knowledge, leadership and community relationships are indispensable to preventing violence and building sustainable peace.

We connect grassroots insight with decision-making spaces, strengthening the capacity, visibility and influence of women working for safer and more resilient communities.
