The Balkan Women’s Network for Democratization and Conflict Prevention is a network of women’s organisations created in April 2001, at a regional conference organized in Greece by KEGME on the theme of ‘Women’s Dialogue for the Promotion of Stability, Human Rights and Sustainable Peace in South East Europe’. An electronic network, BWNet, was set up a year later to facilitate the work of the network in promoting democratic practice and human rights, preventing and resolving conflict, and building sustainable peace in the Balkans.

BWNet aims to empower Balkan women and their organizations to play an active role in promoting democracy, human rights and peace in the region, through the building of solidarity, cooperation, collective action and the sharing of experiences, information, tools and resources
