Mujeres por la paz. Metodologías noviolentas en movimientos pacifistas de mujeres: estudios de casos

Abstract

From the beginnings of our history women and peace have been closely linked. This union has been especially important in the case of the peace movement, which have ever counted with a huge presence of women. Due to this special connection between women and peace, even there has been formed many women peace movements. In these women movements nonviolence has been the best way to achieve their goals and to announce their purposes in a very original and creative way. Nonviolent methodologies are, therefore, one of the most interesting and unknown aspects of these movement. This is why we decided to focus our research in the nonviolent methodologies of four peace movements from different countries (Serbia, Colombia, United States and Liberia). Our aim was to identify, analyze, describe and systematize their nonviolent methodologies, as well as compare them and inquire into their results.
