PROJECTS

MISSION & GOALS

To promote, model, and protect genuine security by creating an international women’s network of solidarity against militarism.

• To strengthen our common consciousness and voice by sharing our experiences and making critical connections among militarism, imperialism, and systems of oppression and exploitation based on gender race, class and nation
• To contribute to the creation of a society free of militarism, violence, and all forms of sexual exploitation, in order to guarantee the rights of marginalized people, particularly women and children, and
• To ensure the safety, well-being, and long-term sustainability of our communities

Educational Projects
Our current projects are this English-language website which provides a vision of genuine security and educates about the effects of military operations, particularly on women, children and the environment.  We also develop and sponsor educational events, talks, and other resources.
