newly launched
website www.peacewomen.org, a project of the Women's International
League for Peace and Freedom's United Nations Office in New York.
The project seeks to nurture communication among a diversity of
women's organisations by providing an accessible and accurate
information exchange between peace women around the world and the UN
system. PeaceWomen.org includes a comprehensive database of contact
information for women's organisations working for peace and justice,
governmental machineries, United Nations offices in the field, and
Permanent Missions to the UN; a news and information service; women's
campaigns; bibliographies, articles, reports, statements and
declarations, and tools for organisational building; accessible
information on the basics of the United Nations and related agencies,
as well as updates on what the UN system is doing on women, peace,
and security. The project prioritizes conflict zones; therefore,
much of the information featured pertains to Africa.
