PeaceWomen Across the Globe is an internationally active feminist peace organisation based in Bern. We support women in contexts affected by armed conflict in their diverse efforts to build lasting peace. To ensure their full, equal and meaningful participation in all stages of peace processes, we amplify their visions and demands, boost their efforts to shape peace processes and connect women peacebuilders within conflict-affected countries and across regions impacted by armed conflict.
We have been working in Colombia since 2016 with our Peacebuilding After Armed Conflict programme. Since the signing of the peace agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC-EP guerrilla group, we have been advocating for the participation of women affected by the conflict in its implementation. In our Peacebuilding During Peace Negotiations programme, launched in 2025, we are also committed to ensuring that women participate in ongoing, locally rooted peace negotiations. Women and women's organisations must be equally represented at negotiations with local armed groups.
As part of a pilot programme in Sudan, we are connecting peace activists in the Dilling region in the south of Sudan with Sudanese activists who have lived in exile since 2023 due to the ongoing violence. Together with our local partner, we promote the targeted development of skills that these women can use to participate fully and meaningfully in peace negotiations and drive social change.
Feminists Connecting for Peace is our growing global network of peacebuilders. It grew out of the initiative “1000 Women for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize” and has developed into a global community of peace activists. It aims to provide safety and solidarity; enable local, regional and global advocacy; give visibility to peacebuilders; ensure exchange, shared learning and knowledge sharing; and facilitate access to decision-making, resources and relevant actors. Through our Feminist Peace Initiatives (FPI), we provide technical and financial support to local, innovative and feminist peacebuilding initiatives and projects of our network members.
