Eight amazing Western and non-Western woman held a three-day discussion in January of 2002 that led to the creation of PEACE X PEACE.
About the original circle.

The mission of PEACE X PEACE is to build sustainable peace by supporting women locally and globally, circle by circle, connection by connection.

To support this goal PEACE X PEACE has three independent but mutually supportive programs - 1) a Global Network through the Internet of women-based groups, 2) a Global Documentary of women working around the world on the frontlines against violent conflict and for cultural harmony, and 3) an international Education Outreach program with an e-Newsletter, website of experts’ Peace Papers, and translated film shorts.

PEACE X PEACE - Global Network

PEACE X PEACE’s Global Network connects women's groups in the US into one-one-one relationships with women's groups outside the US through the Internet, so that they can come to know each other directly and personally. For instance, a group of women journalists in New York could connect with a group of women journalists in Afghanistan; a book club in Minnesota could connect to a women's rights group in Argentina, or a group of nurses from California could connect to a group of nurses in Nairobi. You could say that the Global Network is a "web of peace" supported by PXP's technical infrastructure. These connections, once multiplied into huge numbers, have the potential to be a determining force in future decisions towards peace or towards conflict.

The idea of the Global Network is simple—connect people around the world, give them the opportunity to share their lives and stories, increase the information and experience level of Global Network members and transform strangers into friends. It is in the shift from "other" to "sister" when the connection is made that is the first step in creating a culture of peace.

PEACE X PEACE – Documentary

Women on the Frontlines is a feature-length documentary that profiles the work of women peace-builders in five countries – Afghanistan, Burundi, Bosnia, Argentina, and the United States. The struggles may differ, but the questions are universal: Why are women uniquely suited to achieve peace? How are women organizing to have their voices heard? What makes these women embrace peace, not violence, in the face of
shattering personal crises? By weaving together intimate verite portraits, with footage of the events that led to their pursuit of peace, this film follows these extraordinary women as they challenge the traditional modes of dealing with conflicts.
