WILPF

Our March story reminds us that feminist advocacy is not symbolic, it is about confronting power and demanding accountability in the spaces where global decisions are made. This is how feminist voices push beyond commitments to real change! 📖 Read the March story and explore our calendar: wilpf.org/stories-of-fem… 💛 If you believe in feminist peace in action, consider supporting our work: wilpf.org/donations-and-… #StoriesOfFeministPeace #MarchStory #FeministPeace #WILPF

How can we demand "Access to Justice" when the doors are locked? As the UN convenes #CSW70 in New York, a stark contradiction undermines its very legitimacy. From #Afghanistan to #Palestine, from #Haiti to #Syria, women are being denied the right to participate in person. Meanwhile, the US delegation actively works to dismantle progressive language on gender-based violence and reproductive rights within the hall. This is not "business as usual." This is exclusion by design.

Bombs fall on schools. Feminist organising is defunded. Global cooperation is weakened. Militarised “security” fails women, girls, and communities everywhere. This #InternationalWomensDay, WILPF returns to its radical roots: resisting economies of war, austerity, and exploitation — and defending multilateralism as essential to feminist peace. Join our call and take action: ✊ Protest and mobilise 📢 Bring our call into all spaces 💻 Use our Move the Money toolkit to shift resources from weapons to care, justice, and feminist organising: wilpf.org/move-the-money… #IWD #MoveTheMoney

We are heartbroken by the assassination of Yanar Mohammed, founder of the Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq (OWFI) and a tireless advocate for women’s rights. Her loss is not just a tragedy for her family and community—it is a blow to the global struggle for gender equality and justice. This moment underscores a troubling global reality: activism for women’s rights is increasingly met with hostility, intimidation, and violence. 👉 We invite you to read our full statement on this devastating loss, stand in solidarity with feminist activists in Iraq, and honour Yanar’s legacy by supporting the ongoing fight for justice and equality: wilpf.org/advocacy_docum… #YanarMohammed #Iraq #HumanRights #WomenRights

Our Congress is where our global movement gathers to listen, reflect, and decide our shared path forward. But participation is not equally accessible everywhere. We are inviting solidarity contributions to help ensure that all Sections, including those facing connectivity and electricity challenges, can participate fully and meaningfully. Every contribution helps make our global movement more inclusive and equitable. 🔗 Read more: wilpf.org/supporting-glo… 💜 Donate to support participation: wilpf.org/donations-and-… #WILPFCongress2026 #FeministPeace #WILPF #GlobalJustice #Solidarity

Today, Yanar Mohammed – one of the most formidable feminist leaders of her generation – was assassinated in her home in Baghdad in what appears to have been a targeted militia attack. bit.ly/4cjwNfl

Yesterday, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) released an urgent statement in response to the dramatic and deadly escalation of violence following military attacks by the United States and Israel against Iran. WILPF unequivocally denounces these actions as violations of international law and part of a broader pattern of militarism and impunity. We reject both aggression and militarised retaliation. True security is not built through war. It is rooted in peace, justice, and the rule of law. 👉 Read the full statement and share it with your network: wilpf.org/advocacy_docum…

Our January story reflects on renewal across the WILPF movement: welcoming new national groups, strengthening intergenerational organising, standing in solidarity with Syrian feminists, and sharing feminist knowledge that challenges militarised power. 📖 Download here: shorturl.at/Tq9n7 #2026Calendar #AnnualReport2025
