WOMEN FOR PEACE IN FINLAND
The Finnish Women for Peace started in 1980.
We are not traditionally organised, only we act in spontaneous groups.
This makes us more flexible and enables us to react at short notice and on an equal basis within the group.
We arrange
•
non-violent actions for peace, social justice and equality
•
to protect life on Earth
We oppose
• development, production and spreading of all kinds of weapons, especially arms for mass-destruction
• nuclear power, being conducive to nuclear arms the
• militarization of women in all different forms as well as the militarization of society at large
We demand
•
the means that are booing used for the arms industry to be used for education, development and public health projects
We reject
•
the concept of enemy, as we know that people don't become enemies just because they live in different countries have a different religion or think differently
We create
•
women's net-works across the borders
We do not forget
•
that environmental work is a most important part of peace work
