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.

Caryn Dasah (left in the picture), a peace activist from our global network Feminists Connecting for Peace, is campaigning for peace and social justice in a country that is experiencing a globally neglected armed conflict: the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon. In this interview, she talks about the risks that young people like her take in their commitment to peace and justice.

Since April 2023, Sudan has been embroiled in a brutal conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces. As a result, tens of thousands of people have been killed, twelve million have been displaced, and famine is imminent. On 24 July 2024, the United States invited the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces to peace talks in Switzerland to take place on 14 August. So far, similar initiatives to bring about a ceasefire have failed. Prominent Sudanese mediator and peace activist Rabab Baldo is part of our global network Feminists Connecting for Peace. She has decades of experience working for a just peace in Sudan and explains what needs to happen for the talks in Switzerland to succeed.

Negotiations for a ceasefire in Sudan began in Geneva in mid-August. Fifteen Sudanese women also travelled there to demand to be part of the peace processes. In the swissinfo article, Rabab Baldo from our network and our director Deborah Schibler share their insights.
