Women's Knowledge International (WKI) (www.womensknowledge.org) is a global program that bridges academic research and activism related to gender, women's issues and feminism through specific projects. Women's contributions to knowledge in all fields of life, work and scientific research are "the missing piece for peace". Nevertheless, they are largely disregarded, ignored, undervalued, or unknown. Women's Knowledge International fosters the circulation of such knowledge and builds sinergies to foster social change in the benefit of women and all. Together with a transnational approach, an intersectoral collaboration among individuals, institutions, and organizations is WKI's signature. Special attention is given to women's experiential knowledge and higher education. WKI operates with the assumption that scientific and experiential knowledge should be equally valued and complement eachother in non-hierarchichal terms for long lasting change to occur.

Headquaters are in MAdrid, Spain at the Foundation Culture of Peace, headed by Mr. Federico Mayor Zaragoza, former UNESCO Director General. WKI has ample representation in the United States of America, and collaborators, friends and partners all over the world. It was co-funded in 2011 by its co-directors Dr. Teresa Langle de Paz and Dr. Margarita Benítez.
