Transcend-International, a peace and development organization for conflict transformation by peaceful means.

about: To work for peace is to work against violence; by analyzing its forms and causes, predicting in order to prevent, and then act preventively and curatively since peace relates to violence like health relates to illness.

Particularly important is genocide, or massive category killing, across the fault-lines in human society: nature (between humans and their environment), gender, generation, race, class, exclusion, nation, state. Whether as direct violence or as the indirect slow, grinding violence of social structures that do not deliver sufficient nutrition and health at the bottom of world society, enormous suffering, dukkha, is the effect.

MUDHA has not its own website, but this organisation is mentionned on many other sites, like these:

MUDHA challenges both gender discrimination and racism in the Dominican Republic by empowering women, providing them with access to basic social services. It has built schools and health clinics in bateyes, and established day care and adult education programs. MUDHA also challenges laws and practices that maintain women and children of Haitian descent in conditions of poverty. For example, Ms Pierre has led a campaign to provide Dominican-born children of Haitian descent with the Dominican birth certificates to which they are entitled. Without them, children are excluded from schools and denied the advancement of education. Historically, the Dominican Republic has had uneasy relations with neighboring Haiti and politicians decry the « Haitian invasion » of the country and scapegoat Haitians as the source of their country’s problems. Although Ms. Pierre has herself been publicly attacked and her children threatened for their mother’s activism, she has continued to inspire women around her, personifying the possibilities of what struggle can achieve.

The International Women’s Rights Action Watch IWRAW was organized in 1985 at the World Conference on Women in Nairobi, Kenya, to promote recognition of women’s human rights under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (the CEDAW Convention), a basic international human rights treaty. IWRAW now is the primary international nongovernmental organization that facilitates use of international human rights treaties to promote women’s human rights and rights within families.

IWRAW promotes democracy in action, assisting women—and men who care about women and families—understand their human rights and claim them. It provides technical assistance and research support for projects concerning the rights of women and girls, such as law reform, policy advocacy, and monitoring government performance under international human rights treaties. It facilitates communication and connection between activists who share these concerns. In every region, women use IWRAW’s work to change their world.
