The closing of U.S. bases and the removal of U.S. military personnel are critical to the elimination of war. This campaign is a major focus for World BEYOND War.
World BEYOND War believes that education is a critical component of a global security system and an essential tool for getting us there.
I understand that wars and militarism make us less safe rather than protect us, that they kill, injure and traumatize adults, children and infants, severely damage the natural environment, erode civil liberties, and drain our economies, siphoning resources from life-affirming activities. I commit to engage in and support nonviolent efforts to end all war and preparations for war and to create a sustainable and just peace.

The Canadian government will soon release its Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) after months of consultation. But what will it include and what policies are needed to make the rhetoric of feminism a reality? This webinar, organized by WILPF Canada, will present an overview of how the FFP process has evolved, including recent consultations; what the key principles of feminist foreign policy are; and take a critical look at existing foreign policy. The webinar will also be an opportunity to hear from WILPF Sweden about what has, and what has not, worked well in the context of Sweden's FFP.
Please join us in this 90-minute webinar that also marks the 106th anniversary of the founding of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF).
Speakers include: Allison Pytlak (WILPF International), Gabriella Irsten (WILPF Sweden), Bianca Mugyenyi (Canadian Foreign Policy Institute) and Tamara Lorincz (PhD Candidate, Balsillie School of International Affairs). Moderated by Dr. Noga Gayle of WILPF Canada.
Organized by the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) – Canada.
