PeaceWomen Across the Globe is an international network of women working in different fields of human security, in the North and in the South, who are joining forces to bring the knowledge and leadership of peacewomen to official decision making arenas and to the attention of the public.

We built the PeaceWomen project upon the achievements of an international campaign project - 1000 Women for the Nobel Peace Prize 2005.  That project led to a historic collective nomination of 1000 women peacebuilders from more than 150 countries for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize.  It resulted in documentation of each of the nominees and their work, made their knowledge accessible to the public, and stimulated academic research into the role of women in peacebuilding. 

PeaceWomen Across the Globe is now addressing the different needs and concerns facing peacewomen in different contexts and fields of human security.   Peacewomen come from countries experiencing economic growth and political stability as well as from countries experiencing war.  From their different realities they contribute to sustainable and just peace through addressing violence and injustice within their contexts.  They work in different sectors ranging from education and health, to civil rights and diplomacy. 

PeaceWomen Across the Globe consists of an international board which sets policy and strategic direction; a team of 20 international coordinators based in different regions of the world who shape the implementation of the project and ensure it is relevant and responsive to regional priorities and needs; an international secretariat based in Bern, Switzerland; and we are establishing small regional secretariats to support decentralisation and regional actions.
