One year after the start of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, there are no signs of a ceasefire, let alone peace. Every day the casualty numbers rise and the suffering increases.

The new website offers us more opportunities to present our core issues, our programme and our political work with our partners in Switzerland and abroad. What remains unchanged, even with the new website, is our commitment to a feminist vision of peace, to the participation of women in peace processes and our striving for a world in which all people experience genuine security. Dive in!
Even before the Russian war of aggression, women in eastern Ukraine were barely heard.
