PeaceWomen Across the Globe is a feminist peacebuilding organisation based in Bern, Switzerland with international operations. The initiative "1000 women for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize" marks the beginning of our organisation. Today, we support women in different conflict-affected contexts around the world in their diverse efforts to build lasting peace. Together we advocate for a comprehensive understanding of peace and for women’s equal and meaningful participation in all stages of peace processes. PeaceWomen Across the Globe was founded in 2006 as a non-profit association under Swiss law.

The landmark UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security (WPS) was passed in 2000. In the 25 years since then, more than 110 countries have adopted a National Action Plan for the implementation of the resolution, highlighting the potential of the WPS agenda as an instrument for transformative change.

On 27 September 2026, Swiss voters will vote on the Neutrality Initiative. Through its campaign slogan and the misuse of the peace dove, the initiative suggests that a "No" vote on the initiative amounts to a “No” to peace. This is misleading and demagogic. For these and other reasons, we are voting "No". Together with Frieda – the feminist peace organisation, we unequivocally reject the initiative’s content, purpose and form.
