The Canadian Voice of Women for Peace is opposed to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), a Western-patriarchal institution of violence. Over the course of our history, VOW has passed at least two resolutions calling for Canada to withdraw and for the alliance to be abolished.
In 2019, we launched a monthly protest against NATO outside the NATO Association of Canada (NAOC) office in downtown Toronto that ran until the pandemic lock down in March 2020.
We also started a campaign “Feminists Against Militarism: Women Say No to NATO” and a webinar series to raise awareness about our opposition to the alliance. We continue to work hard to challenge NATO.
In 2023, VOW joined the international Women Against NATO campaign and declaration.
