Working together as peace activists all over the world, we undertake nonviolent activism. This includes public campaigns, protests, boycotts, peace art, and political rallies. WILPF organises locally and globally.

We use different analytical approaches to better understand and study the causes of war, conflict, and violence and their interconnections. For example, we develop and promote intersectional analysis and feminist political economy, historical, and socio-cultural analysis.

Through cross-cultural communication, community-level discussions, media relations, and peace education, we reach wider groups of people to deepen reflections on and transform mindsets related to systems of oppression.

We use advocacy to advance concrete changes in practices, policies, laws, norms, programmes, and systems for permanent peace and to promote human rights and accountability. Advocacy work focuses primarily on governments, parliamentarians, the United Nations, regional institutions, and other actors to stop violence and work to abolish the causes of war. We also conduct advocacy with others, including non-state actors and civil society, to help create a favourable climate for feminist peace.

We build bridges and join and form alliances with like-minded communities, organisations, movements, policymakers, diplomats, and politicians.
