Naima Korchi is an international lawyer and an expert on the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda. She began her career with the United Nations, and it was during her tenure with UNHCR that she recognized that while women are the most heavily impacted by conflict, they also serve as excellent mediators in prevention. This realization led her to focus her professional efforts specifically on WPS.

Following her work with the UN, Naima continued her career as an international consultant, deploying to numerous countries. Since 2018, she has been a member of the African Union Network of Women Mediators (FemWise-Africa) and has served as a mediator in several countries, including year-long deployments to both Sudan and Madagascar.

Naima is also a facilitator on WPS, having organized training sessions for UNITAR for Libyan civil society organizations and for Beyond Borders Scotland on the topic of climate change. She is regularly invited as an expert on UN Security Council Resolution 1325 both in Morocco and abroad. Finally, she is the founder of the NGO Africa Women’s Forum, which seeks to strengthen cooperation between women across the African continent.
