Feminists Connecting for Peace, our global network of peacebuilders, is at the heart of our work. Together with our network members, we organise physical and digital exchanges and network meetings, provide demand-driven capacity building and workshops, work on joint advocacy, develop Feminist Peace Initiatives and provide psychosocial support.
We invite you to browse this page to get an impression of the network’s diverse activities.

The FCP network in brief:
At the first regional meeting of the Feminists Connecting for Peace network in Africa, participants discussed the obstacles that hinder the work of women peace activists and prevent their participation in peace processes.
Three experienced activists and peacebuilders shared key insights on how and why feminist networks play a key role in advocacy in our webinar “Leveraging feminist networks for advocacy”.
In online training sessions, Afghan women peace activists strengthened their peacebuilding skills and built a network across several provinces of Afghanistan. We supported these training sessions as part of our Feminist Peace Initiatives.
Two workshops for Sudanese women peacebuilders focused on strengthening their capacity to increase the visibility of their peace work and to advocate for their inclusion in peace processes. We supported these workshops with our Feminist Peace Initiatives.
For two days, 17 peace activists from 10 Asian countries discussed similarities and differences in their approaches to peace work and feminist peacebuilding while strengthening solidarity across borders.
With a Feminist Peace Initiative, we supported a Women's Peace Table in the Great Lakes region, which enabled dialogue between different women from Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda.
We supported safe spaces for women and girls in Lebanon affected by the escalation of the conflict between Hezbollah and the Israeli army in autumn 2024, enabling them to build solidarity and develop strategies despite the armed conflict.
In three webinars, 53 Belarusian women dissidents and activists anonymously exchanged views on peace, militarisation and security. This project, which we supported with the Feminist Peace Initiatives, helped to break the women's sense of isolation and strengthen solidarity among them.
40 members of the feminist network IWNAM met in the Philippines. They developed a network strategy and an action plan and published a declaration with concrete demands for political leaders and decision-makers.
