Welcome to WLOE

New start from Bonn!

"Women and Life on Earth: women in international cooperation for peace, ecology and social justice" is the English name for the German non-profit association WLOE, Women and Life on Earth e.V.
The name goes back to an earlier Women and Life on Earth movement. WLOE e.V. recently moved its base from Berlin to Bonn, the former capital of West Germany and a center of international activity.
