Canadian Voice of Women Petition: Reduce Military Spending

Join The Canadian Voice Of Women For Peace And Call On The Federal Government To Redirect Military Spending To Invest In Urgent Human And Environmental Needs.  Please Sign Our Petition And Forward To Your Contacts.  Spread The Word.

 

April 15 is the Global Day of Action on Military Spending. In 2012, the Canadian government spent $22.7 billion on National Defence but only $1.6 billion on Environment Canada. The federal government is planning to spend $25 billion on new warships, $16 billion on new fighter jets and $1 billion on armed drones. However, the greatest human security challenges are climate change and poverty.

VOW Stands for Peace

   

Established in 1960, Canadian Voice of Women for Peace (VOW) is a non-partisan Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) comprised of a network of diverse women with consultative status at the United Nations ECOSOC. For over 50 years, VOW has provided 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.
