Many women saying ‘No to NATO’ cannot afford to travel to the NATO Counter Summit events, so they let their “faces” travel.
The first photo display with some 200 photos of women saying No to NATO was published at the NATO counter summit events in Washington DC in July 2024.
In The Hague June 2025 our second photo display including several hundreds of women opposing NATO is published – these are the “faces” of women who did not participate in the first display.
These displays are forwarded to NATO Headquarters in Belgium, and to the governments of the 32 NATO allies.

As NATO held its summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, on July 11^th and 12^th 2023, the peace movement organised internationally. We organised protests – and as well as saying No to NATO, we said Yes to peace, presenting alternatives to war, and a new vision of security.

In March 2023, many women got together online, globally, to ensure women’s mobilization on this crucial issue. We call ourselves Global Women for Peace United Against NATO and we have produced a Declaration for Peace, outlining our message of peace, justice, solidarity, and common security.

As part of the international protests, we organised a programme of events in Brussels, home of the NATO headquarters. From July 6^th to 9^th, there were meetings, debates, seminars, and street actions – and much of it is available on this website. (See “Events” and “Media & More” above).

Please join us however you can – and help us expand participation, especially from those living in NATO states, or in NATO ‘partner’ countries. The events are women-led but we welcome all who are against NATO to participate.

The Declaration, together with the names and affiliations of the first signatories can be found on this page. Click on the tab above to find the Declaration translated into many languages. More are being added all the time.

The Declaration and list of signatories has been sent to the NATO headquarters, NATO members and partners, and their parliaments, together with the EU Commission and members of the European Parliament. We will make sure our voices are heard – voices for peace and justice!

Will you join us?
Let’s build this movement for peace together!

LAST EVENT

Women of the world united for peace say #NoNATO!

We were present last July 6-7 in Washington, DC to protest the 75th Anniversary of the greatest threat to world peace and justice: the US-NATO military alliance. We say: NOT IN OUR NAME!

Global Women for Peace United Against NATO (GWUAN) geared up for the July 5-7 Alternative Summit, which preceded the official 75th Anniversary NATO Summit held on July 9-11 in Washington, DC. We created a photo collage featuring 200 images of women from around the world calling for freedom from NATO. This collage was unveiled on July 6 during the conference at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church. It was also displayed throughout the weekend’s activities and used on social media. These photos were taken by GWUAN followers from all seven continents. The full video from Washington, D.C. was shown on July 6, accompanied by a press release sent to NATO, governments, embassies, and peace organizations.

Highlights from a July 2024 action in front of the NATO base in Aviano, Italy. Many women from Carovane Migranti (Italy) and Caravana Abriendo Fronteras (Spain) participated in the event, in collaboration with Women in Black – Spain.
