Focus: Demilitarisation: Invest in comprehensive security for all
Since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine, there have been calls for rearmament and higher military spending.
Since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine, there have been calls for rearmament and higher military spending. As a feminist peace organisation, we oppose the claim that more weapons lead to more security. We call for demilitarisation and disarmament, because this is the only way to achieve real peace and genuine security. Our board member Margo OkazawaRey and our programme and network manager Annemarie Sancar explain why the world is at a crossroads today.
In this newsletter you can also take a look at the first issue of the "Feminists Connecting for Peace" magazine and find out what was done with the donated money from the Ukraine Emergency Fund.
