There is (still) another way

Since 2006, Combatants for Peace has grown as a movement in which Palestinian and Israeli activists work together for freedom, equality, and human rights. Despite immense challenges, they support communities and families under threat, strengthen nonviolent resistance, and challenge occupation and violence. After 20 years, the movement shows that there is another way.

Por los caminos de la vida

Un homenaje a las parteras de Matagalpa - Nicaragua

Las parteras tradicionales de las regiones rurales de Nicaragua aprenden sus habilidades de sus madres y abuelas, a menudo sin formación médica. Con compromiso, empatía y muchos conocimientos ancestrales, atienden a las mujeres embarazadas en lugares donde no hay posibilidad de acudir a médicos y hospitales. El Colectivo de Mujeres de Matagalpa, proyecto asociado a la Fundación die schwelle, refuerza a las mujeres en su trabajo y las apoya con formación continua.
