The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom- Israel

WILPF is an international Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) with National Sections in 37 countries, covering all continents. It's International Secretariat is based in Geneva with a New York UN office.

Its aims and principles are:

  • To bring together women of different political beliefs and philosophies who are united in their determination to study, make known and help abolish the causes and the legitimization of war;
  • To work toward world peace; total and universal disarmament; the abolition of violence and coercion in the settlement of conflict and its replacement in every case by negotiation and conciliation;
  • To support the civil society to democratise the United Nations system;
  • To support the continuous development and implementation of international and humanitarian law;
  • To promote political and social equality and economic equity;
  • To contribute towards co-operation among all people;
  • To enhance environmentally sustainable development.

Believing that under systems of exploitation these aims cannot be attained and a real and lasting peace and true freedom cannot exist, WILPF makes it one of its missions to further by non- violent means the social and economic transformation of the international community. This would enable the establishment of economic and social systems in which political equality and social justice for all can be attained, without discrimination on the basis of sex, race, religion, or any other grounds whatsoever.

WILPF sees as its ultimate goal the establishment of an international economic order founded on the principles of meeting the needs of all people and not on those of profit and privilege.
