The Women ' s International League for Peace and Freedom- Des Moines Branch( WILPF) works to create an environment of political, economic, social and psychological freedom for all members of the human community, so that true peace can be enjoyed by all. WILPF International was founded at a multi-national conference of over 1000 women in 1915 to protest World War One and lay the groundwork for sustainable peace.
In today ' s context WILPF advocates for five aims: 1. the equality of all people in a world free of sexism, racism, classism, and homophobia, 2. the guarantee of fundamental human rights including the right to sustainable development, 3. an end to all forms of violence: rape, battering, exploitation, intervention and war, 4. the transfer of world resources from military to human needs, leading to economic justice within and among nations, and 5. world disarmament and peaceful resolution of international conflicts via the United Nations.
