WwW aims to build a new world based on the rejection of violence in all its forms, overcoming the defeatism, consumerism, competition and individualism that are the signs of today's system of values and beliefs.

Along with organized campaigns and nonviolent actions, we promote the study of nonviolence, and reflect on our own beliefs and behaviours. The building of a new, nonviolent consciouness starts with learning how to treat others the way you want to be treated. This principle of nonviolence can be seen in very early times in nearly all cultures and religions in their most humanist moments.

Emerging from such experiences, nonviolence has developed as a methodology of action, and a path. Denunciations, disobedience, strikes, street mobilization, personal and social boycotts, and coordinated, simultaneous actions in different points are the principle tools of present-day nonviolence.

From the anti-slavery and decolonization movements, to the civil rights movements of racial minorities, workers, and women, through to the opposition to totalitarian regimes, the arms trade, and nuclear weapons, active nonviolence presents itself as the only methodology of action which is coherent with its objectives. New Humanism has applied it since its inception, not to one conflict in particular but rather toward a comprehensive change of direction for the world we live in.
