Women's Strike for Peace

Women's Strike for Peace is a historic movement that began in 1961, primarily composed of women advocating against nuclear arms and promoting peace. Women organized protests, rallies, and demonstrations to pressure governments to reduce nuclear weapons and prevent nuclear war during the Cold War era. The movement emphasized the importance of peaceful diplomacy and highlighted women’s roles in fostering global security. Their activism helped raise awareness about the dangers of nuclear proliferation and demonstrated the power of women’s collective voice in shaping peace policies.
