Mission: On 9th October 1991, Women in Black began a public nonviolent protest against the war; the Serbian regime’s policy; nationalism; militarism and all forms of hatred, discrimination and violence. They choose antimilitarism and non-violence as their spiritual orientation and political choice. They speak out for recognition of difference, reciprocity, respect for nature, and for development in accordance with the needs of the civil population, and not the civil and military oligarchy and their national interests.
