The Women's Federation for World Peace is a women organization that promotes women as an essential ingredient in creating a peaceful global society. The organization is united globally by this vision while addressing the unique issues and barriers in each region on the grassroots level and through high-level events.

WFWPI was founded in 1992 in the Republic of Korea and quickly expanded to over 100 countries. Only five years later, WFWPI was granted General Consultative Status with the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

In 1994, WFWP Japan sent volunteers to Africa to set up humanitarian projects. They established schools, vocational training programs, and other educational support, including scholarships for students in need. Hygiene and nutrition education is provided all over the continent. This became the foundation for women leaders to create their local chapters and develop activities according to their country's unique needs.
