Who are Women in Black?
Women in Black is a world-wide network of women committed to peace with justice
and actively opposed to injustice, war, militarism and other forms of violence.
As women experiencing these things in different ways in different regions of
the world, we support each other's movements. An important focus is challenging
the militarist policies of our own governments. We are not an organisation, but
a means of communicating and a formula for action.
WiB vigils
Any group of women anywhere in the world at any time may organize a Women in
Black vigil against any manifestation of violence, militarism or war. Women in
Black (WiB) actions are generally women only. Our actions often take the form
of women wearing black, standing in a public place in silent, non-violent
vigils at regular times and intervals, carrying placards and handing out
leaflets.
