25 July 2011. Kodiel: Distribution of 40,000 liters of water among the local community in El Srief (North Darfur), that includes Shiero, Metwier, Eata Ibrahim, Ahmed, Ali and Kodiel villages. The nearest water point is 15 kilometers away and the women have to spend 6 hours a day to collect the water for their families. Due to the drought, the community leaders report that the lack of water is severe in the area and it specially affects children and sick people.
This water distribution was part of a DDR (Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration) outreach activity, organized by UNAMID, with the support of UNDP, UNICEF, North Sudan DDR Commission and the local NGO Friends of Peace and Development Organization (FPDO). The DDR activity promoted messages of disarmament and security arm control among the population, historically controlled by SLA / Free Will faction and currently with few individual armed actions.

Great Peace March for Global Nuclear Disarmament, 1986
A crowd of upwards of 1,000 begin gathering at the U.S. Capitol on a rainy Mother’s Day May 10, 1981 before beginning a march to Lafayette Park to advocate for nuclear disarmament and against an increase in military spending.
The rally was sponsored by the Mother’s Day Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament, composed of 22 groups that sought to reclaim the original purpose of Mother’s Day as an antiwar day.
Speakers blasted the administration of President Ronald Reagan.
Barry Commoner, an environmentalist and antiwar leader, told the crowd, “There is no survivor in a nuclear war.” The only war citizens need to fight “is against Reagan and his Democratic allies,” Commoner continued.
Beulah Sanders, a former chair of the National Welfare Rights Organization loudly proclaimed, “We do not want money spent for nuclear weapons. That money needs to be spent right here so our people can survive.”
Sanders also took aim at Nancy Reagan.
“And I wish Nancy a happy Mother’s Day. She doesn’t have to worry about a decent house, heat or hot water. She doesn’t have to worry about a job or food. But here on Mother’s Day a lot of us are sad because we don’t have it,” said Sanders.
Mother’s Day was selected for the protest to reclaim the history of Mother's Day, which was first organized in America in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe, a poet and women's suffragist, as a day dedicated to peace.
The "Appeal to womanhood throughout the world" (later known as "Mother's Day Proclamation") was written by Howe in 1870 and was an appeal for women to unite for peace in the world.
Howe's "Appeal to womanhood" was a pacifist reaction to the carnage of the American Civil War and the six-month Franco-Prussian War. The appeal was tied to Howe's feminist conviction that women had a responsibility to shape their societies at the political level.
In 1872 Howe asked for the celebration of a "Mother's Day for Peace" on 2 June of every year, but she was unsuccessful.
Laura Hepner, a participant in the 1981 demonstration, explained, “The woman felt that mothers had a particular responsibility to speak out against the war.”
The modern Mother's Day, was established by Anna Jarvis 36 years later. While the day she established was different in significance from what Howe had proposed, Anna Jarvis was reportedly inspired by her mother's work with Howe.

Greenpeace Australia Pacific vessels greet the Peace Boat as it arrives in Sydney Harbour as part of its 'Making Waves' tour to promote nuclear disarmament.
Memo was the bulletin of Women’s Strike for Peace, a group which sprang up almost overnight staging a national demonstration of 50,000 women and supporters to demand nuclear disarmament in 1961.
The group staged a number of high-profile demonstrations and was at least partially responsible for the 1963 Nuclear Test Ban Treaty between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. WSP was also notable for its leader Dagmar Wilson’s skillful rebuke of the House Un-American Activities Committee.
WSP would become early opponents of the Vietnam War and continue its opposition to the Gulf War and for nuclear disarmament in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
Prominent members included founder Dagmar Wilson, U.S. Rep. Bella Abzug, Barbara Bick who edited the group’s bulletin and Edith Villastrigo who served as WSP’s legislative director and who was previously the personal secretary to William Z Foster, head of the Communist Party USA.
The group occupied a unique position as a women’s organization between the first and second wave feminism.

A crowd of 400 women picket the White House March 4, 1964 demanding peace in Vietnam and nuclear disarmament while carrying a 750-foot-long banner composed of dish towels with thousands of signatures.
The following excerpts are from an article by Sue Cronk that appeared in the Washington Post March 6, 1964:
“Nearly 400 women picketed the White House Wednesday afternoon in a demonstration urging president Johnson to ‘make 1964 the year the world turned away from war.’”
“Members of Women’s Strike for Peace from New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia were lobbying for a peace program that includes strong opposition to the proposed NATO multi-lateral force (MLF).
[The Multilateral Force (MLF) was an American proposal to produce a fleet of ballistic missile submarines and warships, each manned by international NATO crews, and armed with multiple nuclear-armed Polaris ballistic missiles. The proposal was floated by the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson administrations. The proposal sparked protests and withered when American and European differences over basing strategies and financing could not be reconciled and died when the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty was signed.]
“As they marched along Pennsylvania Ave., led by WSP founder Dagmar Wilson of Washington, they unfurled a 250-yard-long banner of dish toweling bearing thousands of signatures.”
“Some carried placards asking the President to “Find a Peaceful Solution in Vietnam” and “Make Our Earth a Nuclear-Free Zone.” A few wheeled baby carriages including Jane Ackerman of Philadelphia who brought her 7-month-old Hand to ‘ride’ his first picket line.”
“When the line broke up, groups of members dispersed to confer with various vongressmen, sdministration officials and foreign diplomats.”
“The WSP groups gathered in St. Marks Episcopal Church, 3rd and A Streets, SE, to compare notes on their visits at the end of the afternoon.”
“They reported ‘disappointment’ over the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency’s Attitude toward MLF as a ‘last ditch obstacle to proliferation of nuclear weapons.”
“They were pleased with the statements of Soviet First Secretary Viktor P. Karpov that Russia wants general disarmament, withdrawal of troops from foreign territories, observation posts to insure against surprise attacks and a non-aggression pact between NATO and Warsaw Pact countries.”
