For more than 90 years, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) has been in the vanguard of national and international protests against war, supporters of struggles for justice and freedom, and advocates of women's rights.
This organization was founded in 1915, during World War I. Jane Addams of the United States was a founder and its first president. Ms. Addams and Emily Greene Balche, a co-founder, are the only United States women ever to be honored as Nobel Laureates of Peace.
While we have been obliged to spend an inordinate amount of time and energy in anti-war protests during the past 75 years, the major thrust of our work is in fostering and nurturing friendship among people of all nations, the successful achievement of equal rights for minorities and abused majorities, and support of all programs that seek as their end a world of peace, freedom and justice.
Our goals and our membership transcend race and sex, skip across borders, oceans, and continents. WE WORK IN THE PRESENT TO INSURE THE FUTURE
