One year after the start of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, there are no signs of a ceasefire, let alone peace. Since 24 February 2022, more than 200,000 soldiers and, depending on the source, up to 50,000 civilians have lost their lives in the gruesome war. Every day the numbers rise and the suffering increases. On the anniversary of the attack, we are issuing a renewed appeal with a special focus on the participation and protection of women.

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!
