About Women's Federation for World Peace International
Serving the New York, NY area and a global network spanning over 100 countries, the Women's Federation for World Peace International represents a movement rooted in the belief that women are essential to creating peaceful societies. Founded in 1992 in the Republic of Korea, WFWPI has grown into a recognized international organization with official consultative status at the United Nations, reflecting its commitment to meaningful change at every level. The organization's mission centers on recognizing women as transformative leaders within families and communities, understanding that sustainable peace begins with strong family structures and ripples outward to transform nations and the world. WFWPI connects women across continents through shared values of reconciliation, education, and humanitarian service. The organization uniquely balances global vision with local action, addressing specific barriers and issues in each region while maintaining unified commitment to peace-building. Members and partners include young professionals, educators, community leaders, and activists working on diverse projects from mobile libraries in South Africa to solar energy initiatives in Kenya, from domestic violence awareness campaigns in Geneva to girl child literacy programs in Burkina Faso. What distinguishes WFWPI is its holistic approach that integrates environmental sustainability, youth leadership development, and family-centered values as interconnected pathways to peace. The organization believes that empowered women, working collaboratively across cultural and religious boundaries, create the foundation for a world of genuine well-being and lasting peace.
