About Us
The UK Section of The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) is one of around 40 Sections worldwide.

WILPF has a long commitment, dating back to its establishment in 1915, to the achievement of peace and justice, and the full enjoyment of human rights. WILPF brings together women from all over the world who are opposed to war, violence, exploitation and all forms of discrimination and oppression, who wish to unite in establishing peace by non-violent means based on political, economic and social justice for all.

WILPF is an international non-governmental organisation (NGO) with National Sections in more than 40 countries, covering all continents, and with an International Secretariat based in Geneva and a United Nations office in New York.

WILPF works on issues of peace, human rights and disarmament at the local, national and international levels, participates in the ongoing international debates on peace and security, conflict prevention and resolution, on the elimination of all forms of discrimination, and works for the promotion and protection of human rights. It contributes to the analysis of these issues, and through its many activities, educates, informs and mobilises women for action.

WILPF has consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) and the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and has special relations with the International Labour Office (ILO), Food and Agriculture Organisation (FOA), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and others.

WILPF aims to facilitate structural changes to achieve social, economic and political equality for all without discrimination on grounds of sex, race, religion or any other grounds.
