| Voices
in the Wilderness |
Since its founding in 1996, Voices in
the Wilderness has campaigned to end
economic and military warfare against
the Iraqi people. We have done this
mostly by organizing delegations to
Iraq in deliberate violation of U.N.
economic sanctions and U.S. law, to
publicly deliver small amounts of medical
supplies to children and families in
need. Our primary focus has always been
ordinary Iraqi civilians and the most
vulnerable of Iraqi society, especially
children. We have witnessed this ongoing
warfare through the everyday lives of
families we have come to know as friends
over the course of seventy visits to
Iraq.

for Global Survival |
Physicians for Global Survival (PGS)
is a physician-led organization which,
out of concern for global health, is
committed to the abolition of nuclear
weapons, the prevention of war, the
promotion of non-violent means of conflict
resolution and social justice in a sustainable
world. PGS was founded in 1980. In 1994
we changed our name from Canadian Physicians
for the Prevention of Nuclear War to
Physicians for Global Survival (Canada)
to reflect our growing concern for other
emerging threats to global health and
survival.

Canada should take a leadership role in
preventative diplomacy and peacekeeping.
It must be encouraged to take a non-violent
stand on national and international conflicts.
Conflict is inevitable. A violent response
to conflict, including war, is not. We need
to develop co-operative non-violent methods
for resolving all conflicts for local and
global security.

war. War affects everyone, not just those
directly involved in the fighting. This
webpage is a simple attempt to demonstrate
one of the more quantifiable effects of
war: the financial burden it places on our
tax dollars.
