Chief Minister’s Rotary Peace Prize.
The Rotary Club of Canberra Burley Griffin has joined with the ACT Chief Minister to annually award the Chief Minister’s Rotary Peace Prize.
The 2018 Chief Minister’s Rotary Peace Prize is awarded to the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom ACT Branch of US$1,000 donated in their name to the Rotary International Foundation which is Rotary’s major international charity.
The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) envisions a world free from violence and armed conflict, in which human rights are protected, and women and men are equally empowered and involved in positions of leadership at the local, national and international levels.
