[1] Analysis by Peace research institute Oslo based on Uppsala Conflict Data Program Georeferenced Event Dataset, Global version 24.1. and CIESIN (2018) Gridded Population of the World v.4.11. 

[2] Report of the Under-Secretary-General/Executive Director of the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women on the implementation of the Strategic Plan 2022–2025 (EDAR) (UNW/2025/2) and UN Women Transparency Portal. Note that the data is slightly different from the Report of the Secretary-General on women and peace and security (S/2024/671). In the Secretary General’s report (S/2024/671), the percentages were calculated as the total number of women negotiators/mediators/signatories divided by the total number of negotiators/mediators/signatories in all peace processes in 2023; whereas in EDAR, the percentages were calculated as the average of the percentage of women negotiators/mediators/signatories per process. Data is from the Women in Peace Processes Monitor, an initiative led by UN Women.
