Frauen ohne Grenzen | Women without borders

Women without Borders is an advocacy, PR, and lobbying organization for women around the globe. As an international initiative for women in politics and civil society, Women without Borders offers women a forum so that their voices can be heard and their concerns made public.

Women without Borders supports women all over the world as they strive towards the inclusion and participation of women in all levels of decision making processes and helps them bring their talents and energies into the public arena.

Women without Borders stands for non-violent conflict resolution in countries in transition or undergoing reconstruction. We advocate a future without fear, suppression and violence, and we work towards positive politics that cultivate the participation of women.

The activities of Women without Borders spotlights the courage and dedication of leading female supporters of civil society and works determinedly to bridge the gap between cultures. Through global dialogue, targeted information, and the development of model projects with international partner organizations, Women without Borders empowers women towards positive change.

 In November 2008 Women without Borders launched a new global campaign: SAVE--Sisters Against Violent Extremism, the first women’s counterterrorism platform. SAVE brings together women from across the globe: victims and survivors of terrorist attacks, activists, educators, policymakers, and peace-building experts from Latin America, Africa, the US, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe to create a new sisterhood and contribute to a safer and more secure world.
