Personal Commitments
Personal Pledge on Addressing Threats of Online Radicalisation:
Women without Borders’ Parenting for Peace Models, MotherSchools and FatherSchools, empower parents, especially mothers, to become agents of peace and break cycles of violence for the next generation. In response to growing concerns about the impact of online spaces and technology on adolescents, WwB will integrate these conversations into its programmes, providing guidance to parents on navigating these challenges. 2026 will serve as a pilot year for this integration.
Personal Pledge on Supporting the Brave Efforts of Women in Afghanistan and Iran:
Women in Afghanistan and Iran continue to risk their lives to push for change within their countries and for the chance at freedom, equality, and a better future. Their courage is shaping the ongoing uprisings, yet international support remains limited. Women without Borders is committed to amplifying their voices, supporting their brave efforts, and urging the global community to stand with them in solidarity.
