what is a white poppy stand for

The white poppy is a symbol used primarily in the United Kingdom and some other countries to commemorate all victims of war and to advocate for peace, distinct from the red remembrance poppy that honors military personnel who died in war. It originated in 1933 with the Co-operative Women’s Guild and is now associated with the Peace Pledge Union and other peace groups. Its core meanings are remembrance of all those affected by conflict, a challenge to militarism and the glorification of war, and a commitment to pursuing peaceful, nonviolent solutions to conflict.
