ABOUT NONVIOLENT PEACEFORCE

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is an international, non-partisan organization established in 2002, dedicated to reducing violence and promoting gender-responsive civilian protection. In the Philippines, NP has been a key partner in the peace process with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and, since 2009, has been the first international NGO member of the International Monitoring Team under the Civilian Protection Component.

NP implements unarmed civilian protection strategies, strengthens community-based peace mechanisms, facilitates inclusive dialogue, monitors safety and ceasefire concerns, and provides protective accompaniment. It works closely with governments, communities, UN agencies, NGOs, and the private sector to advance its protection mandate and gender-responsive peacebuilding initiatives.

PROJECT CONTEXT

The BABAE Project (Babaeng Bangsamoro, Arkitekto at Ehemplo para sa Pagbabago) is implemented by Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) in partnership with UNFPA Philippines and supported by the Government of Japan. The project aims to protect and empower women and girls by addressing gender-based violence (GBV), improving access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services, and strengthening community-based protection mechanisms across 86 barangays in BARMM.

Despite ongoing interventions, gaps persist in awareness, access to services, and timely help-seeking behavior due to stigma, cultural barriers, and limited access to reliable information. To address this, NP will implement the “Her Voice, Her Rights” Radio PSA Campaign, leveraging radio as a strategic platform to deliver consistent, culturally appropriate, and rights-based messaging over a 8-month period.
