Dear IB,
We are very proud to announce that the new
WILPF International website is now online.
We know that you have been waiting for the
website for a loooong time, but for us at the office in Geneva, the journey to
creating the new website has been full of unexpected, funny and sometimes very
time-consuming surprises.
Anyway, now here it is.
Before you rush to click on the link, we
would like to tell you a bit about the new website’s features and why we have
made them for you … and all the other readers.
If you cannot see the pictures below, then
please open the attached PDF. Without the pictures, this explanation doesn’t
really make sense.
We hope that you like the new website. It
is just the beginning and it will be a constant work in progress – never
finished – as we publish and upload more and more content.
If you have any comments or ideas etc.,
then just contact us on communications (a) wilpf.ch. If you see any faults,spelling mistakes or other errors, just send us an email.
You will find the new website on www.wilpfinternational.org
All the best,
Nina, Shirin and all the others from WILPF
International.
Here are (some of) our favourite features:
1) Find
a Section!
In the top, we have placed a drop down
menu. A click on a country will bring you directly to the WILPF Section’s website.
If the Section doesn’t have a website, the click will bring you to a page on
the new website describing the Section.
2)
Get to know the Sections
If you go to the links ‘About us è Sections’, you will get an overview of all the active Sections. When
you click on the Section's name, the link will take you to a page describing the
history and much more about the unique Sections. Each section has its own page!
At
the moment, only Sections marked with
blue have been activated and are available to visit. These are the
Sectionsthat have sent in a description about themselves, following the
template wesent out during the summer.
As soon as your Section sends the required
information, we will create your page. Hopefully all the Sections will be blue within
the next few months …
3)
Search and you will find
Next to the menu bar you’ll find a Search
Area. Type in what you are looking for and you will (hopefully) find it.
4)
New newsletter on the Street
Under the Search Area you will find this
box. It leads you to a page, where you and anybody who is interested in WILPF
and our mission can sign up for our new electronic newsletter “WILPF News and
Alerts”.
WILPF News and Alerts is not the same as
WILPF International Update, which is an internal newsletter targeted at ExCom,
IB-members, Section’s Representatives and Convenors of the different WILPF
Working Groups.
WILPF News and Alerts is for everyone: members,
non-members, diplomats, activists, journalists and so on. Everybody who
subscribes.
5) WILPF
Journal
On the front page we have the new WILPF
journal. It is a kind of blog, but we just call it WILPF Journal as we think it
sounds better …
Do you remember when you were a teenager
and secretly in love? Sometimes you just had to pass the window of your beloved,
just to see if the light was on, if anybody was home … well, the purpose of our
new journal is a little similar. We show we are home, and we give you and all
our readers a reason to visit us again and again … as there will always be
something new to see.
You can of course comment on the posts and
also share them on social media sites.
Moreover, you are welcome as a
“guest-blogger/journalist” if you wish to share information about an issue
going on in your country. More than welcome. Just contact us so we can plan in
advance and help you with writing.
6)
For Sections and members
In the footer you will find a link to an
area specially made for Sections and Members. It is full of information. Just
click on the bobble – and don’t ever hesitate to contact us with ideas for more
content!
Best regards,
