According to the Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017: "Congress makes the following findings: (1) Around the world, women remain under-represented in conflict prevention, conflict resolution, and post-conflict peace building efforts. (2) Women in conflict-affected regions have achieved significant success in— (A) moderating violent extremism; (B) countering terrorism; (C) resolving disputes through nonviolent mediation and negotiation; and (D) stabilizing societies by enhancing the effectiveness of security services, peacekeeping efforts, institutions, and decision-making processes. (3) Research suggests that peace negotiations are more likely to succeed and to result in durable peace agreements when women participate in the peace process."
