Women's International League for Peace and Freedom
The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) is a non-profit non-governmental organization working "to bring together women of different political views and philosophical and religious backgrounds determined to study and make known the causes of war and work for a permanent peace" and to unite women worldwide who oppose oppression and exploitation. WILPF has national sections in 37 countries.
WILPF is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland and maintains a United Nations office in New York City.
==Organizational history==
WILPF developed out of an International Women's Congress against World War I that took place in The Hague, Netherlands, in 1915; the name WILPF was not chosen until 1919.〔(Women, peace and transnational activism, a century on ) History and Policy (2015)〕 The first WILPF president, Jane Addams, had previously founded the Woman's Peace Party in the United States, in January 1915, which later became the US section of WILPF. As of 1920 the US section of WILPF was headquartered in New York City. Another of its founding members was Marian Cripps, Baroness Parmoor, who later served as president of its British branch.
