The AFWW Logo Explained

What is Required to Establish a Global Peace and Maintain It
​A Complex and Difficult but Not Impossible Challenge

The Cornerstones
Upon the following nine cornerstones, listed in alphabetical order, we can construct an enduring peace system to build a more stable and less violent world we desire. In that future, young men follow their dreams to the stars and not to the bloody fields of war and young women create lives of beauty rather than struggle to repair lives ripped apart by killing.

  • Enlist Young Men
  • Ensure Essential Resources 
  • Foster Connectedness   
  • Promote Nonviolent Conflict Resolution   
  • Provide Security and Order   
  • Shift Our Economies

The Meaning behind the AFWW logo
 The Figure
The figure is shaped by intertwining silver and gold trim around the view of humanity's shared home, the earth, taken from space by Apollo-17. The intertwined braid that forms the trim symbolizes the partnership of women (silver) and men (gold) that is essential for us to build a warless future. Neither sex alone can establish or preserve a warless future: men, because they cannot resist aggressive male bonding and an urge for dominance that can be used to create soldiers for armies; women, because they prefer social stability and will not eagerly overturn the social order, something that is necessary in any revolution, even a positive one. (1)  

When men and women work together as equal partners, male inclinations for war will be restrained, female inclinations for negotiation will be unleashed, and we can leave to future generations a world in which war eventually becomes a grim memory from an earlier, and often dark, past.
