Who we are
The Women’s Federation for World Peace is a voluntary, non-profit, non-governmental, non-partisan international civil society organisation. In Ukraine it was registered by the Ministry of Justice in 2007.
We work through local chapters: women in communities decide for themselves who needs help and what kind, and the organisation provides resources and support.
When help arrives, it brings the feeling that someone remembers you.
