IC Forum 2024: "What is peace?"

The International Cooperation Forum Switzerland (IC Forum) takes place in Basel from 11-12 April 2024. The theme is "What is peace?" - and we are there. At our stand, you can find out what our answer to this question is. We will show visitors what peace processes are and, using concrete examples from our work with our partners, we will explain how women exert influence at various stages. Come and visit us!

Human Rights Film Festival: women between war and peace

The Syrian documentary film "Under the sky of Damascus" demonstrates what it means for women to fight against misogyny and sexism in a country where there is no consensus as to whether the armed conflict is over, whether it is continuing or whether a new one has already begun. At a panel discussion, our colleague Karin Widmer and the Syrian human rights activist Amal Naser will talk about women's experiences and options for action in conflict-affected countries.

Security for whom? Feminist visions for genuine security

A conversation with two members of our international board - Sima Samar, Afghanistan, and Margo Okazawa-Rey, USA - about how patriarchal ideas shape our understanding of security, the contrast between military and human security, and feminist visions for peace.

Feminist peace policy: series of events

We are continuing the series of events on the topics of feminist peace policy, disarmament, demilitarisation and genuine security: three events will take place in Bern on 7 and 8 September 2023. We are also launching the latest issue of our magazine "Feminists Connecting for Peace", which this year is dedicated to the topic of security. UPDATE: The Round Table will now take place in the Käfigturm of the Polit-Forum Bern, Marktgasse 67, 3011 Bern.
