Through the Communication Initiative I learned of Peace X Peace, “pronounced peace by peace.” They are DC-based and provide a “global network [to] connect individuals and circles of women everywhere in the world, through the Internet, for spirited conversation and mutual support.” It looks like they primarily use video, radio and email to develop women’s leadership skills. On their website they have a preview of a film they’ve made that followed women leaders in Argentina, Afghanistan, Burundi and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Patricia Smith Melton founded Peace X Peace with her husband, Bill Melton, who is a businessman with Global Internet Ventures and was part of America Online.
