| Statement of Purpose |
WFWPI supports a network of National WFWP Chapters worldwide.
WFWP Chapters adhere to the principle that women, working together, taking initiative and empowering one another across traditional lines of race, culture and religion to create healthy families, are resolving the complex problems of our societies and world.
Ultimately "solutions" come as true partnerships between men and women are established in all levels of society. The beginning point is within society's most elemental level - the family. Peace then expands into our communities, nation and world.
Therefore, WFWP works to provide women worldwide with: the knowledge, tools and support needed to create peace at home, peace in our communities, our nations and our world.
WFWP International is a non-profit, nongovern-mental, international organization in General Consultative Status of ECOSOC and in association with UN Department of Public Information. |
