GLOBAL WOMEN'S PEACE NETWORK
The Global Womens Peace Network's (GWPN) aim is to build a body of NGO leaders whose collective wisdom and judgment can complement the deliberations of the United Nations, which is a body of government representatives and is overwhelmingly male. Such a consultative body could promote healing and peacebuilding through reconciliation, forgiveness, love and embracing people beyond boundaries of race, religion, nationality, and language.

Women's Leadership Conference
The Women's Leadership Conference organised by the WFWP provides a vital platform for women to come together, share experiences, and work towards creating positive societal transformations. By addressing critical areas such as women's dignity, violence prevention, and peace building, the conference plays a significant role in fostering international dialogue, networking, and generating practical solutions for a more sustainable and peaceful world.
Women's Conference for Peace in the Middle East
In January of 2004, WFWP established the "Women's Middle East Peace Initiative" (WMEPI) and, understanding the importance of that area in history, as well as in current affairs, determined to focus its attention on the Middle East. A Declaration for Peace was drafted. WMEPI was formally launched with events in Los Angeles and Washington DC, entitled, "Women as Peacemakers: Building Bridges of Peace in the Middle East." The Declaration traveled "around the world in 28 days", with Norma Foster, WFWP, USA National Advisor, as she took it to international conferences in Switzerland and Israel. WFWP, USA co-sponsored the "Women of Peace" program, in May of 2004, which brought together 526 women from 41 nations. During the Fifth Annual WFWPI International Leaders Workshop, held in Austria, in September of 2004, a decision was made to collect one million signatures worldwide for the Declaration for Peace. This campaign aims to turn the minds and hearts of women throughout the world to focus their support on the Middle East; to highlight the need for women to be more involved on all levels of the peacemaking process throughout the world; as well as to encourage women to use their God-given nature to advance peace in the Middle East and throughout the world.
No Peace without Women
Welcome to "No Peace Without Women," a groundbreaking initiative launched by the Women's Federation for World Peace that is now entering its second year. Our mission is to address a pressing concern that has long plagued societies worldwide, the marginalisation of women in peace processes and decision-making arenas, resulting in ongoing conflicts and societal strife.
We firmly believe that without the active participation and meaningful engagement of women, true and lasting peace cannot be achieved. By excluding women from policy making and failing to recognise their unique perspectives, we miss out on invaluable insights, diverse experiences, and innovative solutions to complex issues.
"No Peace Without Women" seeks to highlight the importance of women's voices in shaping policies, fostering dialogue, and finding sustainable solutions for peacebuilding and good governance. We advocate for the genuine inclusion of women at all levels from grassroots initiatives to high level negotiations ensuring that they have a seat at the decision making table.
