INTERNATIONAL DIRECTORY OF

WOMEN´s PEACE GROUPS

(updated March 24th 2002)

 

 

What is May 24?

"As a woman, I have no country. As a woman, the entire world is my country," the writer Virginia Wolff once said. She was writing around the time of the Second World War.

Her critique of war in her book Three Guineas, and of the social roles of men and women that uphold war, remains pertinent today.

Her statement rejected a narrow nationalism that would disenfranchise many people, especially women. She embraced a common humanity.

It is a good definition of solidarity. Solidarity does not mean ignoring important differences. Rather, solidarity searches for a common ground, recognizes shared values.

Networking is solidarity's sister. In networking, women reach out to give and receive support, to share information, strategies and resources.

Networking means making connections, finding allies, discovering new resources that make our work for peace more effective.

2002

This year's pack gives examples of the many women's peace networks that are flourishing. The international directory has been updated and more suggestions are given as to ways women's peace groups can support each other.

A new section on important websites for women peace activists has been added. It is our hope that this will increase networking among women's peace groups.

Solidarity and networking are what May 24 is all about.

May 24 International Women's Day for Peace and Disarmament began in Europe in the early 1980s, when hundreds of thousands of women organized against nuclear weapons and the arms race.

Since the 1995 UN World Conference on Women in Beijing, the International Fellowship of Reconciliation and the International Peace Bureau have published this pack to raise awareness of and increase support for women's peace initiatives.

Events such as marches, street theatre, debates, and seminars take place around the world on this date.
