The period of the project was from 2021 to 2024, Every year, 18 female activists are graduated from every Iraqi governorate. The project aimed at building peace and involving women and girls in security and peace decisions, targeting eighteen female activists from all governorates of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.

The participants were engaged in launching five initiatives aimed at educating women about UN Resolution 1325 and their role in decision-making. Tulip Foundation later expanded the project by selecting eighteen new activists each year, ensuring transparency in the selection process. We provided training on the National Action Plan and advocacy techniques, enabling participants to lead a unified campaign across Iraq and the Kurdistan Region. The project included discussions with police, military leaders, and civil society organizations to raise awareness about protecting women and girls. Our goal was to establish partnerships with security departments to ensure the safety and support of women facing violence.
