We are deeply saddened by Mavic's passing. She was a fierce trailblazer for women's rights and the WPS agenda. Committed to action & accountability, she contributed immeasurably to the formation of the Compact and represented GNWP for two years as founding Co-Chair of the Board.

It is with profound sadness that the Board and Management of GNWP announce the passing of our Founder and CEO, Maria Victoria "Mavic" Cabrera Balleza, on March 20, 2026. She was an unwavering advocate for women's full participation in peace and security. 🕊️

As a young woman from Palestine, Amani Aruri finds herself at the intersection of different forms of oppression. She has not allowed this to deter her from becoming a vital member of international platforms like @WPSHACompact #16Days

Young women peacekeepers like @Carynoyds, Executive Director of @advocates_hope a WPS-HA Compact Signatory, work hard to respond to conflict & crisis in their communities. They also play a key role in localizing peacekeeping efforts to ensure they meet the needs of women & girls.
