WILPF’s mission is to end and prevent war, ensure that women are represented at all levels in the peace-building process, defend the human rights of women, and promote social, economic and political justice.

What does security really mean?

In Brussels, WILPF members from across Europe joined together to challenge the growing push for rearmament and rising military spending.

Through our Move the Money campaign, we are calling for a different vision of security, one rooted in care, justice, and disarmament, not weapons and war economies.

At a time when military budgets are soaring, feminist voices are asking a different question: What if those resources were invested in healthcare, education, housing, climate justice, and community wellbeing instead?

Peace is being discussed and WILPF is helping shape the conversation!

At the Geneva Peace Forum Meets Vienna (GPF Meets Vienna), WILPF members Heidi Meinzolt, Rosa Logar, and Luisa Dietrich took part in an OSCE roundtable with PEACEWOMEN across the Globe on women’s inclusion in peace processes.

The discussion made one thing clear: inclusion is not meaningful if it stays symbolic while power structures remain unchanged.

Feminist peace means going beyond participation and toward real influence, shared decision-making, and structural transformation.

Today in Madrid, at the 5th Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP5), WILPF’s message was clear: feminist foreign policy must address the global increase of the military budget and to peace, justice, and human security.

The Secretary-General Amrita Kapur and WILPF members and partners called for a feminist foreign policy that walks the talk: budgets that reflect our values and care for life and the planet.

For 11 years in a row, military spending has broken records. In 2025 alone, governments spent $2.88 trillion dollars on militaries, while funding for Sustainable Development Goals is falling short by $4 trillion dollars.

War increases poverty, destroys infrastructure, pollutes ecosystems, and fuels the very instability it claims to prevent.

War isn't inevitable. It's a political choice. Governments can redirect funds from militarism to peace, care, and justice.

We say: Move the money from weapons to well-being, from militarism to care.

Our May story reminds us that building peace means more than ending wars, it means confronting the systems that fuel them and lifting the voices of those who resist.

The May chapter of WILPF’s Stories of Feminist Peace 2025 underlined the importance of taking down oppressive structures by highlighting the voices of local changemakers.

Women in conflict zones from Palestine to Afghanistan are speaking out about the oppressive structures fuelling violence. Through WILPF, they brought their knowledge and advocacy to international decision-making spaces.

Dismantling oppressive structures starts with individuals at the local level.

We often hear: “there is no correlation between military spending and lack of investments in social well-being", but this is a myth. Like other spending, the defence budget is a political choice, subject to governments’ own priorities.

Even if it seems a logical consequence that creating extra budget through loans would shield other spending, the reality that we witness today tells a different story : the highest ever recorded global military expenditure ($2.88 trillion, according to SIPRI) and in parallel, unprecedented financial cuts of multilateral organisations precisely created to maintain international peace through peaceful means.

But have you ever wondered where this money actually comes from? Public funds: taxes paid today, or debt repaid by taxpayers tomorrow. Either way, it is people who ultimately pay the bill. The same people who depend on public health systems, affordable housing, and quality education are indirectly financing a system that weakens their own security, well-being, and fundamental rights.

It can’t be clearer which priorities our governments have chosen.

It’s time to fund peace instead of war. Visit wilpf.org to find out how you can help toward peace.

URGENT: HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS UNDER ATTACK 🚨

We are alarmed to report that Ukrainian peace activist Nina Potarska, former WILPF's Ukraine Consultant, is among hundreds of civilians aboard the Global Sumud flotilla | گلوبل صمود فلوٹیلا whose vessels have been intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters.

Nina is not alone.

She is one of more than 400 activists, human rights defenders, and civilians from across the world, all on a nonviolent humanitarian mission to deliver aid to Gaza, now facing intimidation, detention, and violence at sea.

⚠️ Armed military units have reportedly surrounded unarmed civilian boats far from any Israeli jurisdiction
⚠️ Communications have been jammed, with multiple vessels unreachable
⚠️ Those on board are at risk of illegal detention and serious harm

This is a serious breach of international law.

Targeting civilian humanitarian missions in international waters is unlawful and endangers lives. Every person on board must be protected.

📢 We call on governments worldwide to:
Take immediate action to ensure the safety of all flotilla participants
Demand an end to unlawful interceptions at sea
Uphold international law and protect humanitarian access to Gaza

We stand in solidarity with Nina and every individual on these vessels. Their courage must not be met with violence.

Silence is complicity.

Today at , WILPF is hosting a session you shouldn’t miss: “Rebuilding Solidarity: Feminist Movements and the Funding Crisis in SWANA”

📅 Thursday, 30 April
🕐 1:30 – 2:30 PM at the Resourcing Hub hosted by Alliance for Feminist Movements
📍 Resourcing Hub

Across the region, feminist movements are under pressure, funding is shifting, restrictions are increasing, and space for political work is shrinking.

In Lebanon and Palestine, feminist and community-led initiatives are too often left to face a breakdown of trust and resources from donors and allies.

Let’s talk about what this means in practice and what real solidarity looks like in response.

If you’re at join us in person.
