  • Women without Borders (WwB), an international non-profit organisation headquartered in Vienna and founded by Dr. Edit Schlaffer in 2001, works to empower women as agents of change. WwB has since its inception been putting research into practice through community-based strategies that combine theory and grassroots-level fieldwork. To date, WwB has conducted over 80 projects in some 30 countries with a focus on Female Leadership, Capacity Building, Gender Based Violence, Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE), and Empowering Dialogue. Responding to the growing threat of radicalisation by sensitising a hitherto neglected group to their roles and responsibilities in building community resilience from the ground up, WwB created the world's first female PVE platform: the Sisters Against Violent Extremism (SAVE) network. While addressing extremism is a priority among the range of distinct but interrelated WwB capacity building projects, this approach reflects WwB's longstanding, broader governing philosophy: translating research into action and empowering women to move from victimhood towards agency, the world over.
