Organisation:
PeaceWomen Across the Globe is a feminist peacebuilding organisation based in Bern, Switzerland with international operations. The initiative "1000 women for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize" marks the beginning of our organisation. Today, we support women in different conflict-affected contexts around the world in their diverse efforts to build lasting peace. Together we advocate for a comprehensive understanding of peace and for women’s equal and meaningful participation in all stages of peace processes. PeaceWomen Across the Globe was founded in 2006 as a non-profit association under Swiss law.
The association comprises an international board with a Swiss committee and an office in Bern and works with programme partners abroad and cooperation partners in Switzerland.
PeaceWomen Across the Globe is financed by membership fees, institutional and private donations, maintains long-term funding partnerships with foundations and is supported by the public sector.
