Even before the Russian war of aggression, women in eastern Ukraine were barely heard, their needs and concerns ignored. Our pilot programme, launched in 2021, opened up spaces where women discussed issues and formulated demands to make their everyday lives safer. We are picking up where we left off with the new Women’s Platform for Peace.
We use media contributions and interviews to bring our work and positions to the attention of a wider audience. As part of our advocacy work, we facilitate interviews with members of our network Feminists Connecting for Peace.
On 8th March women’s organisations around the world celebrate International Women’s Day and make their demands for peace and gender equality public. On this occasion, PeaceWomen Across the Globe (PWAG) – together with its worldwide network of peace activists – launched a workshop series on feminist peace politics, disarmament and demilitarisation. PWAG organises this workshop series with the support of Women’s International League of Peace and Freedom (WILPF).
The first issue is out! Read articles on the topic of "demilitarisation" by members of our network Feminists Connecting for Peace, among others from Guam, Indonesia, Ukraine and Kosovo.
In the Annual Report 2022, you will learn everything important about our work in the past year - and why feminist visions of peace were put to a tough test.
