Women and Disarmament

disarmindexflickcrowd

 

Total and universal disarmament has been one of the goals of WILPF since its inception in 1915. WILPF has played an integral role in the Special Sessions on Disarmament, in the Non Proliferation Treaty conferences, and in the Conference on Disarmament. Through the Reaching Critical Will project, WILPF maintains its excellence in participation and continues empowering women to participate in this necessary work. Reaching Critical Will also serves as an information service, providing easy access to documents and analysis to enhance the quality and quantity of NGO participation in disarmament fora.

The WILPF Peace and Security working group publishes a regular newsletter, which you can find here.

 

 

Did you spot it?

Neither did they. Cluster munitions are maiming and killing civilians all over the world. Today, there is a new convention to ban cluster munitions. Read more about it here.




Reaching Critical Will (RCW)

The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom created the RCW project in 1999, in order to increase the quality and quantity of civil society at international disarmament fora, such as those that take place at the UN. We believe that nuclear disarmament will require coordinated and sustained effort on the part of governments, non-governmental organizations and the United Nations. Reaching Critical Will is WILPF's initiative to encourage people to act and contributeto a variety of international fora.

For non-governmental organizations and concerned individuals to act, they need information, primary documents and analysis. Reaching Critical Will collects, packages and often translates disarmament related information into terms ordinary people can understand.
