WLOE e.V. marks 5th anniversary

Since 2000 WLOE has been based in Germany. On September 23, 2003, a German non-profit association was founded, with the English name "Women and Life on Earth" and then in German: "women in international cooperation for peace, ecology and social justice." On September 23rd, 2008, members and friends marked the 5th anniversary of the association.
And then in Bonn... 
On October 18, 2008, WLOE e.V. had a membership meeting in Bonn, with elections of executive committee members and an official change of the location of the association from Berlin to Bonn. From 6:30 pm friends and those interested were invited to an autumn dinner and second preview of the "Women from Planet Diversity" film. It was well received, and after additional small additions and changes will be offered publicly.

Welcome to WLOE

The Women and Life on Earth internet project began in 1999 to help connect women internationally, share information and work for ecological health and peace with justice in the new millennium. In September 2003 a non-profit German WLOE association was founded in Berlin. Work is currently being coordinated from Bonn, Germany.

In 2008 we helped organize the Festival of Diversity and two women's workshops as part of Planet Diversity. This international demonstration, festival and conference, held in Bonn, Germany in May, brought together experts and activists from around the world working for healthy local and regional food production. The sustainable alternative to industrialized monocultures and genetically modified crops. See more on our site. Currently we are working on a film featuring "Women from Planet Diversity."
