This chapter introduces the reader to characteristics of gendered thinking, its neglect within psychology and peace psychology, and discusses how peace building as commonly defined lacks a gender perspective. We argue that feminist analysis contributes to a more comprehensive meaning of peace building than a non-gendered analysis. We describe results of our research on women's international peace building initiatives, underscoring the emphases women give to psychosocial processes such as healing, reconciliation, and cooperation. We characterize distinct ways women build peace at grassroots (local) levels and within non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Finally, we discuss the United Nations (U.N.) Platform for Action which is an important global feminist document that provides important directions for women's peacebuilding.
