STATEMENT OF PURPOSE OF THE INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP OF RECONCILIATION The International Fellowship of Reconciliation (IFOR) is an international, spiritually-based movement of people who, from the basis of a belief in the power of love and truth to create justice and restore community, commit themselves to active nonviolence as a way of life and as a means of transformation–personal, social, economic and political. Gender PolicyUnequal power relations between women and men, is one root of violence, conflict and militarization, where women’s human rights are often severely abused. Gender justice means that women and men can equally contribute to and benefit from peacebuilding, nonviolent conflict resolution and reconciliation. This gender policy recognizes that gender equality is an integral part of IFOR’s fundamental values and is a core spiritual value. A transformation of the power relations between women and men is a prerequisite for a culture of peace and nonviolence, and must be promoted throughout IFOR.  Read IFOR's 2006 adopted Gender Policy
