As a feminist peace organisation based and rooted in Switzerland, we support the feminist strike and the concerns and demands of those striking. On 14 June and beyond. We do so because gender justice and feminist visions of peace are at the core of our work, both in Switzerland and around the world.
We urge all states, military alliances and intergovernmental organizations to reduce troops and military build-up from 2022. As a feminist peace organization, we are convinced: demilitarization is a central prerequisite for real security for all.
