WFLOE (Women for Life On Earth) [is] a campaigning group who walked 120 miles from Cardiff to Greenham in 1981, in a protest against cruise missiles and to make a general anti nuclear protest. Following the march some of the women then chained themselves to a fence on arrival. Some of the protestors also established a peace camp outside the Greenham common base, which was occupied by women throughout the 1980s and 1990s until the last remaining protestors left in 2000. Today the group actions for a cooperation between women to campaign for peace, ecological issues and social justice.
