Women's Federation for World Peace Australia

WFWP International (WFWPI) was inaugurated in 1992 and is active in 122 nations worldwide. WFWP Australia commenced later in this year. WFWPI is founded on the belief that a peaceful world begins in the heart of each person and in each family.  The family is the cornerstone of peace and mature couples are the foundation for strong and loving families. As an NGO, WFWPI obtained the prestigious General Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations after five years of International humanitarian service.
