We urge all states, military alliances and intergovernmental organizations to reduce troops and military build-up from 2022. As a feminist peace organization, we are convinced: demilitarization is a central prerequisite for real security for all.

For almost two weeks, the war in Ukraine has escalated with the invasion of and air strikes by Russian troops. As feminist peace organizations, we call for the immediate withdrawal of the Russian military and an immediate end to the violence. (Joint appeal with four civil society organizations in Switzerland, German.)

We urgently appeal to the 28th OSCE Ministerial Council on December 2-3, 2021 in Stockholm and to all OSCE participating States to end the deadly war in the Donbass by an immediate ceasefire and the launch of an effective peace process!

Political work is a core concern of our organisation and of Feminists Connecting for Peace, our global network. The network and its activities provide a space for activists and women's organisations to share ideas and practices, work together on strategies and carry out political work together. Through the network we contribute to our goal of creating political impact.

With Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, the UN Security Council passed a milestone in feminist peace and security policy in October 2000, marking the launch of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. The WPS agenda lies at the core of our work across our programmes, in our advocacy and in our work with our global network Feminists Connecting for Peace.
