Associação Feminina Portuguesa Para A Paz
The ''Associação Feminina Portuguesa para a Paz'' (Portuguese Women's Association for Peace - AFPP) was a female pacifist association created in 1935 and dissolved by the Esdado Novo dictatorship in 1952. It had active groups in Lisbon, Coimbra and Porto. Although declaring itself apolitical, many of its members were anti-fascists opposed to the ''Estado Novo''. Its activities involved providing support to prisoners of war, and it organized lectures, exhibitions, and other events as a way to disseminate the principles of World Peace.
