Overview

Un Ponte Per (UPP) is an NGO established in 1991. It has started its activities as “Un ponte per Baghdad”, right after the end of the war in Iraq, with the aim of organizing solidarity initiatives in favor of the Iraqi civil society. Later on, the intervention of Un Ponte Per started including Serbia and other Middle Eastern and Mediterranean countries. The NGO mission is to prevent new conflicts, protect human rights and support civil society, especially in the Middle East, through humanitarian and development programs, always supporting the local civil society. UPP is active in Iraq since 1991 and is regularly registered at National and Kurdistan Region levels.

The project aims to work to ensure that women change agents from all ages and backgrounds lead political transformations to a more just, peaceful, and inclusive society. While seemingly broad, this strategic objective takes into account the reality that women inhabit multiple roles in any transition to peace. Genuine transformation will require not only women gaining positions of power but also mobilizing their communities, building the capacity of civil society to push for an inclusive transition, and pushing leaders to adopt more gender responsive policies. The program’s design will help empower and support women to lead this transition.
