Discover the story of the Welsh Women’s Peace Petition 1923-24, and the pivotal role of Welsh women in campaigning for peace.
Discover the story of the Welsh Women’s Peace Petition 1923-24, and the pivotal role of Welsh women in campaigning for peace. The stories of these remarkable women are as inspiring and relevant today as a hundred years ago.
In 1923-24, 390,296 women from Wales signed an appeal to the women of America calling for world peace. Following the horrific losses of the First World War, women were inspired to appeal for peace, calling for LAW NOT WAR’. Find out more about Annie Hughes Griffiths and others who led the delegation to America, as well as those from North Wales who campaigned for peace, including organising the walk from Penygroes to Hyde Park in 1926. The exhibition of archives and art brings to life the stories of these extraordinary individuals who campaigned for peace – locally, nationally and internationally. May their stories inspire visitors to the exhibition to work for peace today.
The exhibition includes loans from the collections of The National Library of Wales, Amgueddfa Cymru, Bangor University Archives, Gwynedd Archives Service and Welsh Centre for International Affairs.
