ABOUT:
Canadian Voice of Women for Peace (VOW) is a PeaceQuest Program Partner.
Established in 1960 in response to the nuclear threat, the mission of VOW is to provide a means for women to exercise responsibility for the promotion of world peace and justice, through education of themselves and others to take an equal part in the democratic process of decision making; and to cooperate with women throughout the world to create the mutual respect and understanding necessary for the peaceful resolution of international conflict.
