Money for Women Peacemakers
IFOR/WPP releases annual May 24 package

Fundraising, drawing up budgets, keeping records of expenses, and writing donor reports may not be the most attractive tasks for women peacemakers to spend their energies on, but they are indispensable.

Related to the May 24 celebration in The Hague, IFOR’s WPP has just published, in cooperation with the International Peace Bureau, its annual May 24 package.

This year’s 24 May package hopes to inspire women peacemakers and other women’s rights activist to discuss issues in depth, in their respective fields, such as the costs of war, the benefits of peace, funding, and fundraising. The package contains, among other authors, contributions by Sharon Bhagwan-Rolls, Cindy Clark, Silvi Sterr, Shelley Anderson and Lisette Caubergs.
