Women in the Arab world have a rich history in their active participation in political change from the Algeria revolution against the French occupation to the most recent revolution in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya among other countries. The question is not their participation. Their question is the incorporation of women's voices fully in the new definitions of the countries where change has happened.
Zainab SalbiWomen still need higher political representation and to be included at decision making tables in all issues in order for solutions that relates from peace to food, to health, to basic stability in the world. We cannot continue to marginalize half of the population in the world in finding sustainable solutions that are good for all.
Zainab SalbiLike life, peace begins with women. We are the first to forge lines of alliance and collaboration across conflict divides.
Zainab SalbiI dont want to be someone in my sixties holding on to a group that I created when I was in my twenties.
