Abstract
Over the years, a realization has slowly but surely grown that war is, after all, not a good thing to happen and it is deadly and devastating for the universe. Especially, the realization about the sufferings of women and children caught in wars, armed conflicts and violence has increased. The women doubtless suffer most because of their vulnerable position. A series of women movements and organizations focusing on women issues are actively campaigning for peace for women today. Women, mostly belonging to North American and European countries, are active in the process of developing peace through writings, lectures, conferences, seminars, workshops and networking in different countries and establishing and empowering organizations to form a broad base for further action. In this context, several women constituencies are playing a very important role in the movement against nuclear weapons. Likewise, the women Nobel Peace Laureates’ role for global peace is very inspiring.
