Our long-standing partnerships in Colombia, Nepal and the Philippines, where formal peace agreements have been signed, support women in the implementation of peace agreements and in their efforts to bring about structural change. In three videos with representatives of our partner organisations in these countries, they share their most important insights from their collaboration with us. 

One consequence of the "super election year" 2024 is the marked increase in authoritarianism. It may take different forms depending on the country, but certain characteristics are recognisable everywhere: contempt for women and marginalised population groups and the restriction of their rights. In this world view, militarisation in the name of ‘security’ is being pursued at the expense of social welfare or non-military peacebuilding. What can be done to counter this onslaught of authoritarianism? networks of women activists. In 2024, our work with our programme partners and in the Feminists Connecting for Peace network repeatedly showed us the power and impact of these networks: they are both strongholds against authoritarianism and sources of creative and persistent action for peace.
