This dossier (It can't go on like this) was put together by a group of Swiss women who separated from a mixed group because they felt that they would be able to work better in working only with women and women's knowledge and experiences.

It gives ideas about how to put uncomfortable feelings into action, about our fears and how to learn to see connections between patriarchy and militarism, and how to prepare peace work for the future. Very useful publication. In German.
