Fathers are joining the Parenting for Peace movement in Frankfurt and Marburg!

After 5 years of implementing MotherSchools in Hessen, Women without Borders is proud to launch FatherSchools here for the first time, in partnership with Rumi imPuls e.V.

Our core philosophy? Peace at home is everyone's responsibility. We believe that raising peaceful, resilient children is not a mother's responsibility alone. Fathers are equally powerful role models!

We kicked things off with a Training of the Teachers workshop, preparing FatherSchools trainers to bring the programme to their own communities. Roll-out begins in a few weeks!

The FatherSchools in Hessen are funded through the programme "Hessen - aktiv für Demokratie und gegen Extremismus” (Hessen.de).

On the heels of the 70th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women, and at a moment when democratic and legal protections for women and girls are under pressure worldwide, Women without Borders continues its work where it matters most: in communities.

One in three women globally will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. Our GBV prevention programme 'Women Know How: Ending Gender-Based Violence' empowers women to break the taboo surrounding violence, question the silence, and challenge the social stigma that allows it to persist.

We recently held a training session ahead of our upcoming roll-out with our Vienna partners, Nachbarinnen, equipping Women Know How Trainers with the tools to lead workshops and carry out the WKH curriculum.

This project is made possible through the generous support of the Sozialministerium Österreich.

Open House Talks | Consequences of Patriarchy: On the occasion of , Women without Borders hosted two pioneering women’s rights activists, Ambassador Manizha Bakhtari and Dr. Jaleh Lackner-Gohari (Das Iranische Wien), for a conversation on the alarming status of women and girls in Afghanistan, Iran, and beyond.

The evening began with a stark reminder and warning: when authoritarian regimes rise, the consequences of patriarchy follow: the roll-back and dismantling of equality and of hard-won human and women’s rights.

Yet, as our speakers emphasised, now is not the time to despair. This is the time to act, to disrupt, and to reclaim the space every person rightfully deserves. Because every day is a day to celebrate women and all that has been achieved — and to continue the work that still lies ahead.

New year, new roll-out 🚀

At the end of January, we trained 23 Teachers and Notetakers for the upcoming MotherSchools and FatherSchools in Kempten and Munich. Family-based prevention has been at the heart of our work in Bavaria since 2017, and we remain committed to advancing peace where it matters most: in families and local communities.

Thank you to our partners at Sozialdienst muslimischer Frauen Kempten e.V. and to our sponsors, the Bayerisches Sozialministerium.
