WILPF statement on "Young-WILPF"
Y-WILPF

The International Executive Committee of WILPF approves with enthusiasm the founding of "Young WILPF".

We request all sections to support this foundation morally and financially.

Being part of an international organisation WILPF members have enormous experience and expertise that must be shared and transferred to the new young members, because it is essential for the continuity of WILPF.

To empower young women inside and outside WILPF  to participate at all levels of the organisation we need focused programmes with short term goals, tangible work plans and measurable results.

It should be a priority for all sections to ensure that 30 % of the participants in all international meetings are under the age of 30. This requires a commitment to prioritize funding of young members.

The intention of Young WILPF is not to create a separate section but to establish an arena for young women to enter into the organisation. We see this project as an opportunity for WILPF to come together as an organisation in our struggle for peace and security.
