The Women's Federation for World Peace, International (WFWPI) was established in 1992 by Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon in an effort to address the confusion of a world seeing a breakdown in family ethics, as well as the escalation of racial and religious struggles.

Dr. Moon insists that in order to save the world from moral chaos, the AIDS crisis, drug abuse, and war, women must play a central role in building families of true love. Furthermore, women with their natural inclination to nature, serve and be empathetic must take a lead role in their communities and become an agent for change. With the international headquarters located in Seoul, South Korea, there are one hundred and twenty-two national chapters worldwide.

The founding spirit of WFWP, International guides its activities in three areas:

1. Strengthening the family, with the understanding that the family is the foundation for lasting peace in the world.
2. International service projects that encourage "living for the sake of others".
3. Peace and reconciliation activities, through WFWP's affiliation with the United Nations, as well as with her signature project, the "Bridge of Peace Ceremony".

WFWPI focuses on poverty eradication through worldwide service projects. In 1994, more than one thousand WFWP volunteers from Japan went to live in one hundred and sixty nations, for the purpose of establishing projects in support of women and families. WFWPI currently maintains fifty-seven service projects worldwide in the areas of education; women's self-help; agriculture; AIDS prevention; nutrition and medical aid.

Since 1997, WFWP, Japan has sponsored a noteworthy series of women's conferences on the topic of Peace in the Middle East. This series has brought prominent women together from throughout the Middle East region to explore ways they can work together to advance peace in that region. Over the years this series has been held in Turkey, Cyprus, Greece, and Switzerland. Themes have included, "Women and the Future of the Middle East", "The Role of Families in Creating a Peaceful Middle East"; "Women and a Culture of Peace"; "Women and the Dialogue among Civilizations"; and "The Realization of Peace in Women's Hands: Meeting the Challenge".

In 2002, WFWP, International established the "One Percent Love Sharing Project". Through donations of $1 per month, or $12 per year, WFWPI is helping those less fortunate. With an initial focus on women and children in North Korea, this project "exemplifies the spirit with which WFWP was founded, the practice of true love and sharing".
