Founded in 1915, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) is the oldest, continually active women’s peace organization in the world, with sections in 37 countries. WILPF exists to “bring together women of different political beliefs and philosophies united in their determination to study, make known and help abolish the causes and legitimization of war.” Toward this goal, WILPF members engage in a number of specific projects, issue committees, and national campaigns, evolving and changing over time.
