“Bridges of Peace”

Centuries of experience and modern psychology are teaching us that a cease-fire alone is not enough to create lasting peace. Every act of violence leaves victims with physical but also deep emotional scars behind. War is an accumulation of acts of violence and therefore long after the external destruction has been restored the internal scars still linger on.

When emotions of hate and resentment are not restored, they are the source of conflict or even wars in the future. Fifty years after the end of World War II the Women’s Federation for World Peace started a unique initiative called the Sisterhood Movement or Bridge of Peace to end the resentments and hate accumulated during WW II and during other historical conflicts.

Through this new social technology, women who have the desire to create lasting peace and who have in mind the future world we bequeath our children and future generations, come together and unite as sisters crossing over the borderlines of enmity leaving the destructive past behind.

“Bridges of Peace” become the foundation to work together towards a a world of Harmony and Peace where every person – Young or Old – can live in dignity, and children and young people can develop their unique character and potential!
