The Global Peace Initiative of Women Religious and Spiritual Leaders, also known as the Global Peace Initiative, is an unprecedented gathering of women religious, business and government leaders from every faith and region in the world, who are meeting to forge a partnership to reduce conflict, violence and religious hatred. It is a network of women that has unique potential to blend the leadership abilities of women towards a common goal of building reconciliation and healing in regions of conflict.

On October 6-9, 2002, over 500 women leaders from religion, business and government came together to Geneva, Switzerland to launch an historic effort by women to assure a more prominent role in global peace building. This initiative was conceived and developed by a small group of women religious leaders who participated in the Millennium World Peace Summit that convened at the United Nations in New York in 2000.
