There is bad news every day: wars, disasters, violence, poverty and misery on a global scale. We would like to counteract these depressing facts with some hopeful information in the form of Visionews, which will publish success stories and inspiring visions of peace from all over the world, providing encouraging examples of achievements.

Visionews will form the foundation of a worldwide database of good practices of the implementation of UNSC Resolution 1325 and can be used by non-governmental organisations, women's peace groups and all those interested. Visionews is also a global media cooperation project with Inter Press Service Germany, 1000 Peacewomen Across the Globe and the German Women´s Security Council. Almost all of the texts on good practices and visions were written by professional journalists. The project has been made possible by the generous support of filia – the women's foundation, Stiftung Apfelbaum and Stiftung Umverteilen.

Visionews is a global cooperation project funded by OWEN – Mobile Academy for Gender Democracy and Peacebuilding. The cooperation partners are the Global Cooperation Council, which serves as the sponsor association for the news agency Inter Press Service Deutschland; the 1000 Peace Women Across the Globe and the German Women's Security Council.

Visionews has been made possible by the generous support of filia – the women's foundation, Stiftung Apfelbaum and Stiftung Umverteilung.
