We are the UK Section of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, an international, membership-based organisation working towards feminist peace.
WILPF’s mission is to prevent war and build a global permanent peace by addressing the root causes of violence, conflict and inequality; ensuring that women are meaningfully represented at all levels in the peace-building process; defending the human rights of all; and promoting social, economic and ecological justice.
These are the ways we work towards peace.
Being a member of WILPF UK means joining a community that shares your values. Every level of participation is important – from letter-writing to joining us in street actions.
We have a range of contributions members can make to support our campaigns. This includes research, advocacy, creating resources, communications and social media, office administration, grant applications and event organisation. We appreciate all the help, support, practical action and solidarity we can get so we encourage and welcome members to volunteer.
We can’t achieve our goals without the dedication and support through donations and memberships. You can support WILPF UK by donating, becoming a member, visiting our shop, or getting involved with our activities or local Branches.
