Women, peace and security issues are making the
news everywhere, everyday. It is often simply a matter of knowing
where to look. PeaceWomen relies on a variety of websites, listservs,
e-newsletters, and other e-news services for information on women,
peace and security issues. Some sources provide women, peace and
security-specific news updates, some include a regularly updated
women and gender category which regularly includes peace and security
information, and some are mainstream news services which provide
occasional coverage of these issues.
The list compiled below is a work in progress. As we learn of new
news sources, we will add them to the chart below. If you have suggestions
for news sources to include, please email: Sarah@peacewomen.org.
