Women, Peace and Security Network - Canada

WPSN-C and the Research Network on Women, Peace and Security (RN-WPS) have recently collaborated on a roundtable at the University of Ottawa bringing together researchers, civil society representatives, and defence practitioners to discuss how the WPS agenda can remain responsive to evolving security environments, as well as two webinars exploring how the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda applies to the Canadian context.

In a year defined by polarization, fatigue, and political transition, WPSN-C focused on continuity, credibility, and coherence.

This document outlines short-term (2026) priorities and longer-term (2026–2030) directions, grounded in the collective insights shared by members through consultations held from September to November 2025.
