Women in Black (WiB) is a world-wide network of women committed to peace with justice and actively opposed to injustice, war, militarism and other forms of violence. Not an organisation, but a means of mobilisation and a formula for action. Women in Black actions are generally women only, and often take the form of women wearing black, standing in a public place in silent, non-violent vigils at regular times and intervals, carrying placards and handing out leaflets.
The Sheffield group usually holds vigils on the first Saturday of each month, 1-2.30pm at the War Memorial, Barker's Pool, Sheffield city centre. Just turn up on the day, all women are welcome to join in vigils for all or part of the time, and support is welcome from everyone.
An organisation working for structural change to remove social, economic and political inequality, war and the causes of war.
