As IPS points out, women are still routinely being left out of conflict resolution and peacebuilding efforts. This address by Sister Joan Chittister at the International Gender Justice Dialogue convened by the Women’s Initiatives for Gender Justice and Nobel Women’s Initiative is an example of why it is so crucial that women be included at the table–it is voices like this that so urgently need to be heard.
Once again, the Feminist Peace Network is participating in the Take Back The Tech campaign which runs throughout the 16 Days of Action Against Gender-Based Violence. Each day, Take Back The Tech has a new action. You can find each day’s action by clicking here or by clicking the widget in the righthand sidebar. The theme for this year’s 16 Days campaign is:
Commit • Act • Demand: We CAN End Violence Against Women!
