Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp

The Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp was a significant protest movement that began in 1981 in the UK. It involved women who camped at Greenham Common, a former RAF base, to oppose the deployment of U.S. nuclear missiles during the Cold War. The camp became a symbol of feminist activism and pacifism, drawing attention to nuclear disarmament and women's rights. Over the years, the women organized demonstrations, marches, and events, highlighting the dangers of nuclear weapons. The camp remained until 2000, ultimately contributing to wider discussions about peace and military policies in the context of the Cold War.
