Mission Statement
WILPF works to achieve through peaceful means world disarmament, full rights for women, racial and economic justice, an end to all forms of violence, and to establish those political, social, and psychological conditions which can assure peace, freedom, and justice for all. This remarkable vision still guides us today as we face the challenges of the twenty-first century. In today's context this means:
· the equality of all people in a world free of sexism, racism, classism, and homophobia,
· the guarantee of fundamental human rights including the right to sustainable development, an end to all forms of violence: rape, battering, exploitation, intervention and war, the transfer of world resources from military to human needs, leading to economic justice within and among nations, and
· world disarmament and peaceful resolution of international conflicts via the United Nations.
