The Women’s International League for Peace
and Freedom (WILPF) has been working
since 1915 to unite women worldwide who
oppose oppression and exploitation. WILPF
stands for equality of all people in a world
free of racism, sexism, and homophobia; the
building of a constructive peace through world
disarmament; and the changing of government
priorities to meet human needs.
