WFWPI was officially inaugurated in 1992 with representatives
from 70 nations. The mandate given to us at the time was very
different than that of any other organization.
Each Founding Member was called to contribute their talents,
mind, heart and creativity in a global mobilisation towards a
Peaceful Culture that would involve changes in every field of
life: politics, economy, culture and society.
In 1994, 1600 volunteers went to 160 nations to apply the new
strategy that envisioned empowered women as the agents of
change for healing and community building.
