The DRC and Colombia, the only countries where women signed a peace agreement in 2025

In 2025, the DRC and Colombia were the only countries where women were among the signatories of peace agreements, according to a United Nations report. The _Gender Snapshot 2026_ states that these women signed the agreements, but their influence on negotiations remains unclear. Globally, nearly 80% of peace processes in 2025 had no women involved as negotiators or mediators, despite their active participation in local conflict prevention efforts. The report also notes that approximately 757 million women live near conflict zones, and sexual violence related to conflicts doubled compared to 2024.
