The World March for Peace and Nonviolence is an initiative of World without Wars, an international organization which has worked for peace and nonviolence since 1995 and was created by the Humanist Movement.

The project of the World March was launched in 2008 and is supported by hundreds of organizations and personalities in the Arts, Music, Politics, Literature, Sports, etc.

The March started October 2 (Gandhi's birthday), 2009 in Wellington, New Zealand and finished on January 2, 2010 in Punta de Vacas, Mendoza, Argentina. The March was intended to rise worldwide awareness for nonviolence. Concrete demands of the March are: abolition of nuclear weapons; withdrawal of invading troops from occupied territories; the progressive and proportional reduction of conventional weapons; the signing of non-aggression treaties among nations and the renunciation by governments of war as a way to resolve conflicts.
