WILPF around the world
There are WILPF groups in 46 countries, all working towards the same goals:
- an end to war, violence and coercion
- peaceful negotiated solutions to conflicts
- universal disarmament and the diversion of resources away from armed forces and weapons to meeting human needs
- the elimination of all forms of inequality, oppression, discrimination and exploitation
- the establishment of an international economic order based on meeting the needs of people, not on privilege and profit
- environmentally and socially sustainable development
- reform and strengthening of the United Nations to assist with achieving the above goals.
International WILPF has consultative status at the UN, and this ensures women’s
voices for peace are heard at that level.
