Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) stated on September 23, 2026, that more women should participate in negotiating peace agreements, asserting that they are often better negotiators than men. Speaking at Foreign Policy’s Her Power Forum in New York City, Jayapal emphasized that women and families bear a significant burden during wars but have limited influence in peace efforts. She mentioned research indicating that peace agreements are 20% more likely to last longer than two years when women are involved in the negotiations, although she did not specify the study. Jayapal expressed the need for increased representation of women in the Pentagon and the importance of having skilled negotiators at the table, stating, "I think women tend to be much better negotiators. And that is, they’re deeply unrepresented within the Pentagon, by the way."
