The site's mission statement included this text:
Women in Black is an international peace network. Women in Black is not an organization, but a means of mobilization and a formula for action. Women in Black vigils were started in Israel in 1988 by women protesting against Israel’s Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. Women in Black has developed in countries such as Italy, Spain, Germany, England, Azerbaijan, Colombia, and in FR Yugoslavia, where women in Belgrade have stood in weekly vigils since 1991 to protest war and the Serbian regime’s policies of nationalist aggression. Women in Black groups have formed in many cities in the United States since September 11th. Women in Black New York have been holding vigils in solidarity with our sisters throughout the world since 1993.
A parting note left on the site in early 2009 explained that rather than update this site, unfortunately "other sites were established, and their operators were unhappy with the higher search engine visibility of this one, so they asked this one to be shut down. No further information on this issue or on activities of Women in Black in New York city or globally will be available. The domain name itself will expire on February 3, 2009."
