WikiPeaceWomen, One Million PeaceWomen Project of PeaceWomen Across the Globe, Celebrates Women’s Contribution to Peace
HONGKONG, March 8, 2016 — For celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the project Thousand PeaceWomen for the Nobel Peace Prize 2005, the PeaceWomen Across the Globe Association (PWAG) based in Bern, Switzerland, launched the WikiPeaceWomen project in October last year. Its goal is to collect one million stories of women who are working for peace from all walks of life, acknowledging their invisible contribution to peace.
The PeaceWomen are working in all fields of human security, conflict resolution, ecological security, environmental justice, health, education, legislation, and others. While their work will be made visible and recognized, their expertise will also be disseminated outside their current spheres of influence, so as to contribute to different levels ranging from the communities to the global. The process of inviting stories of Million PeaceWomen to be written and translated, and of fostering connections, will be a process of re-activation of the interest and commitment of old and new coordinators from different regions of the world, and of connection and reconnection to the 1000 PeaceWomen as well as the thousands of volunteers who have related in various ways to the PWAG project in the last decade.
Women’s groups, educators, youth groups and others are all welcome to be part of this project. You can send your nominations of peacewomen’s stories for uploading to the website which is in multiple languages. For more details, please visit the Swiss website of Peace Women Across the Globe at http://www.1000peacewomen.org/ and the WikiPeaceWomen Website at http://wikipeacewomen.org. If you have any question about the project, please contact us at wiki.peace@gmail.com, or the East Asia secretariat of PWAG: Kwan Fong Cultural Research and Development Programme, Lingnan University.
