About us
PeaceWomen Across the Globe is an internationally active feminist peace organisation based in Bern that supports women in contexts affected by armed conflict in their diverse efforts to build lasting peace.
The second edition of our "Feminists Connecting for Peace" magazine deals with the topic of "security". In nine contributions from different regions of the world – from Indonesia to Cameroon, Ukraine and Kosovo to Guam – our network members explore such questions as “What does security mean from a feminist perspective? How does this understanding contradict a military understanding of security?”
With the magazine, we make the work of feminist peace activists visible. In articles and interviews, activists from our global network of the same name share their insights and experiences. Each issue examines a specific topic from different perspectives.
