In this special edition of our newsletter, you can find out which stages peace processes go through and where and how women exert influence in order to drive peace processes and prevent setbacks. We have added an extra, detachable double page so that you can use the graphic illustration of peace processes and the accompanying text yourself. You will also find out how our partner in Nepal is helping to ensure that the generations affected by war are heard and recognised as victims of war violence through intergenerational Women's Peace Tables. The meeting with peace activists from our Feminists Connecting for Peace network, which took place in Bern at the beginning of the year, is another focus of our newsletter.
Women were directly affected by the ten-year conflict in Nepal, many as combatants. Yet, they were effectively excluded from the peace negotiations and their access to transitional justice processes remains severely restricted.
What are peace processes – and how do women influence these processes? With a graphic illustration, we show the various roles of women in the different stages of peace processes. We use this tool to highlight the role women play and the influence they have in peace processes.

The global network Feminists Connecting for Peace forms the core of our work. It emerged from the "1000 Women for the Nobel Peace Prize" initiative and has developed into a unique global community of women peace activists.<br>
Together with members of our network Feminists Connecting for Peace, we organise exchange and network meetings, offer training and workshops and work together on advocacy work and developing Feminist Peace Initiatives. An overview of these activities.
