Stop The War Coalition (Australia)

Stop The War Coalition (Australia)

Stop the War Coalition (StWC) is an Australian anti-war group initially formed in Sydney in 2003 and later in Melbourne in 2004 mainly in response to the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the general "War on Terror" of which the Australian Government has been a strong ally. This proceeded the biggest protests in Australia's history, where almost one million people were reported to have taken part in demonstrations across the country's towns and cities during the global 15 February protests in 2003 in response to the imminent attack on Iraq by the Coalition of the Willing.
