As part of Les Bi Con 2010 Lik:t (the Young Women’s Peer Health Project) organised a walking tour around Withington, Manchester.
All the people on the walk were involved in anti war campaigns during 1914-1918. There are personal links between them all, as you will see. The organisations these campaigners were involved with were:
- The Women’s International League formed after the split in the constitutional suffrage movement after the Women’s Peace Conference in the Hague in 1915.
- The Fellowship of Reconciliation, an absolute pacifist and Christian organisation set up in 1914, by 1915 there was a local branch in Manchester.
- The No Conscription Fellowship was started in Manchester in 1915
- The local Independent Labour Party
- Local campaigns for women’s Trade Unionism
- The Women’s Peace Crusade 1917-1918
Part 2 coming soon…
