About this institute
Women in Security, Conflict Management and Peace (WISCOMP) was launched in 1999 as an initiative of the Foundation for Universal Responsibility of His Holiness The Dalai Lama to build a culture of coexistence and nonviolence in South Asia that is gender-sensitive and inclusive. A not-for-profit, non-sectarian, non-denominational organization, the Foundation was established with the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to The Dalai Lama.
