Welcome to the homepage of the United Nations Office of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF)! WILPF has been and continues to be present and supportive of the United Nations, our world's peace organization, but has also often been critical when governments, who drive and comprise the United Nations, fail to uphold the spirit and letter of the United Nations Charter.
Please return in coming days and weeks to explore our newly developing website to learn more about our organization and this office!
