For almost two weeks, the war in Ukraine has escalated with the invasion of and air strikes by Russian troops. As feminist peace organizations, we call for the immediate withdrawal of the Russian military and an immediate end to the violence. (Joint appeal with four civil society organizations in Switzerland, German.)

We urgently appeal to the 28th OSCE Ministerial Council on December 2-3, 2021 in Stockholm and to all OSCE participating States to end the deadly war in the Donbass by an immediate ceasefire and the launch of an effective peace process!

Our network is spread out across the world, yet we feel and act in solidarity with each other. Supporting feminist peacebuilders and making their work visible is at the core of our vision and practice. The "Feminists Connecting for Peace" magazine is a co-creation of activists from our global network. The first edition focuses on Demilitarization.

The “Feminists Connecting for Peace” magazine showcases the diverse work of our global network.

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.
