About us
The “Liga Internacional de Mujeres por la Paz y Libertad” (LIMPAL) Colombia is a feminist, pacifist and antimilitarist organization; we are the Colombian office and a part of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) movement, known as the oldest pacifist women’s organization in the world, doing peace activism for 104 years in 38 countries around the world, empowering the voices of women in order for them to be the ones who create alternatives to crises and conflicts by prioritizing peace.
We promote the implementation of the United Nation’s Security Council Resolution 1325 on “Women, Peace and Security” in Colombia. We are known for our commitment to disarmament, reintegration and reconciliation from a feminist-pacifist perspective and the strengthening of organizations at the local level, as well as for our advocacy in relation to the implementation of the Final Agreement for the termination of the conflict between the Colombian government and the FARC-EP.
Mission:
We are a feminist, pacifist and antimilitarist organization that promotes the recognition, defense, and protection of women’s rights by applying an intersectional approach.
We support feminist peacebuilding efforts in Colombia through advocacy and aim at strengthening collective processes that empower women’s political agency.
Vision:
We strive to be an organization that practices the care and preservation of life (“el cuidado de la vida”) and that promotes a society free from violence. We want to confront the systems that lead to the oppression of women’s diversity through an ecofeminist and antimilitarist approach.
We strengthen the mechanisms and processes to access, protect and guarantee all women’s rights, their economic autonomy, political participation, and transformative action – always based on pacifism and non-violence.
We center feminist peace and human security on multiple levels, by emphasizing the knowledge and experiences of women in the territories to achieve a just, ecologically responsible society where it is possible to live in dignity.
