About the Organisation

Accords International (AcIn) is the world’s premier organization working in the area of conflict resolution. We are passionate about discovering innovative techniques in mediation and restorative justice for widening their scope as a mechanism of conflict resolution.

AcIn was conceptualized in 2021 with an aim to:

Empower individuals to establish better dispute resolution mechanisms;
Utilize existing techniques in dispute resolution in a more productive way and create new techniques in the area;
Create a pan India network of professionals, academicians, judges, bureaucrats, and students working in the area of conflict resolution and restorative justice &
Synergise the working of alternate dispute resolution mechanisms with courts and the government for faster and optimal results

AcIn organizes a monthly chat with global conflict resolution experts to sensitize the audience about creating innovative techniques for conflict resolution.

About the Event

At Accords International, we try to organize programs on new and interesting themes which are not generally touched upon by many organizations in India.

This panel discussion, around the theme ‘Women in Mediation’, on the occasion of Women’s Equality day, August 26, seeks to contribute to the discussion around women’s empowerment in mediation. It does so by addressing specifically the experiences of women as mediators.

We have invited female mediators/conflict resolution experts from around the world to have a discussion on the question of what skills women bring to mediation. This question needs two levels of inquiry. On the one hand, it involves a general inquiry into skills necessary to be a good mediator. On the other, it requires an inquiry specifically into the question of why include women mediators in a certain type of mediation. The panel discussion will explore the skills and motivations of women mediators and the subjective experience of women in that role.
