I am Against NATO - Forever pacifist, and FredsFitta (PeacePussy)

Agnes Hellström is a recognized Swedish journalist, author, and peace activist. She served between 2016-2022 as the Chair of the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society, (SPAS) the world’s oldest Peace Organisation, founded in 1883.

SPAS (or Svenska Freds) is part of the  International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, ICAN, whose persistent work led to 122 countries in the UN voting yes to a convention to ban nuclear weapons on July 7, 2017. Their work include to stop arms exports to dictatorships and for many years campaigned for a democracy criterion. On April 15, 2018, a new law came into force where a democracy criterion is included in the regulations for arms exports.

During her time as the chair for SPAS, and lifelong pacifist Agnes was a strong and outspoken spokesperson against Sweden’s NATO membership.

After leaving her position at SPAS, and with her publishers urgings to write about her experiences at SPAS resulted in her book with a provocative title, Fredsfittan or in English the PeacePussy. (Unfortunately, only available in Swedish)
