With our Feminist Peace Initiatives (FPI), we support local and feminist peace initiatives and projects of our network members. The aim is to promote innovative ideas for feminist peace work quickly, in a straightforward manner and for a limited period of time. In this way, we enable network members to try out new ideas that correspond to their own priorities and those of their communities.
On this page we list the organisations whose initiatives we have supported with an FPI. More information on Feminist Peace Initiatives and our criteria.
