Mano River Women's Peace Network
This bi-lingual site, published in French and English, highlights the work of this organization, a network of more than 100 civil society groups, particularly women’s associations, located in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. The Network, created in 2001 with support from the Economic Community of West African States, Organization of African Unity and the United Nations System under an initiative of the NGO Femmes Africa Solidarité, aims to advance the role of women in promoting peace, security and development in the Mano River sub-region. The website will be expanded in the near future to include highlights from MARWOPNET's upcoming newsletter, Voices of Peace, featuring poetry, testimonies, drawings, case studies and other information collected from MARWOPNET-Guinea's eight field offices. Located in prefectures on the border with Sierra Leone, Liberia and the Cote d'Ivoire, these new offices opened their doors in February 2004 to promote peace-building activities at the grassroots level. MARWOPNET invites readers to visit the site regularly for information about the Network's activities and events. The organization also welcomes feedback on its site; to send a comment, please write to manoguinee@yahoo.com, with a cc to aprilthompson@hotmail.com.

World Prout Assembly
World Prout Assembly, www.worldproutassembly.org. A site devoted to bringing down the capitalist-corporate economic model fast and replacing it with a new, grassroots-generated, morality-based economic model that will provide relief for the common people, and raise their living standard to such an extent that people everywhere will be finally free of material worries and can move unhindered towards higher, more subtle intellectual and spiritual endeavors. A bird cannot fly on one wing. Hence, women's liberation - women's recognition as being equal to men - is a prime focus of this site.
