the first and the second world war and of the women movements in different countries after the wars and are linked with the international peace bureau ,the European womens lobby and the churches and trade unions in some parts we follow the old demand to
abolish wars and nuclear and mass destruction weapons in long run, against illegal small arms trade and especially against violence against women,and for their full participation in peace and community building as written down in the UN women conferences in the UN decade from 1975-2000 with the resolution 1325.

try to use the Barcelona process and support the Anna Lindh Foundation in finding new
forms of cooperation between women peace and women groups in the region.
