Canadian Voice of Women for Peace information


Canadian Voice of Women for Peace, also known as the Voice of Women or VOW, is a Canadian anti-nuclear pacifist organization that was formed in 1960. The organization was created in response to an article in which Lotta Dempsey, a journalist for the Toronto Star, called out for action against the threat of nuclear war and asked women to work together for peace.[1] After the article was published, a group of women contacted Dempsey and formed a women's organization called the Canadian Voice of Women for Peace.[1] The organization's work has spanned multiple decades and is Canada's oldest feminist peace group.[2][3]
