We are horrified by the recent escalation of violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and condemn the widespread attacks on the civilian population. We call upon all decision-makers in the region and the international community to respect International Humanitarian Law and human rights and to protect the civilian populations through all available means. In the meantime, we are making all efforts to support our network member in the DRC, who faces imminent danger.

Great Lakes: securing women‘s contribution to peacebuilding
PeaceWomen Across the Globe was founded in 2006 as a non-profit association under Swiss law. The successor organisation to the "1000 Women for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize" initiative promotes networking between women peace activists and peace policy organisations as well as the exchange of knowledge among them. It further aims to make women's peace work publicly visible.
Our history begins with a courageous and visionary idea: to nominate 1000 women for the Nobel Peace Prize in order to give more visibility and recognition to women's peace work worldwide.
15 years ago, Ruth-Gaby Vermot-Mangold together with an international team nominated 1000 women for the Nobel Peace Prize.
