Vi är djupt hedrade över att vara med på PRIO:s shortlist för Nobels fredspris 2025.
I 110 år har IKFF-medlemmar världen över arbetat hårt för jämställdhet, fred och frihet. Vi inspireras att fortsätta arbeta tillsammans med andra i strävan efter en mer rättvis och fredlig värld.

PRIO:s beskrivning: The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom
The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) was founded in 1915 by over 1,000 suffragettes from 12 countries, including Norway. As one of the world’s first peace organizations, WILPF has continuously tackled the root causes of conflict while championing global peace. It played a significant role in establishing the United Nations in 1945, and lobbying for nuclear disarmament as a key member of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. Awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to WILPF would carry special significance this year, marking the 25th anniversary of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. In 2000, WILPF led the coalition that lobbied for and drafted this landmark resolution, recognizing the crucial role of women in peacebuilding.
In a world where women continue to be excluded from formal peace processes, WILPF’s commitment to empowering women peacebuilders and amplifying their voices is more important than ever. Honouring WILPF with the Nobel Peace Prize would acknowledge its long and faithful service to peace, and highlight the significance of women’s peace activism.
