From joblessness to lack of education and professional skills to sexual and gender-based violence, women face a multi-faceted oppression.

Without women's full inclusion at the decision making table, we cannot have any healthy decision making that is good for men and women alike.

Being a leader for me is about having the courage to speak the truth, and live the truth, despite attempts to silence our thoughts, feelings, and past experiences.

Women are not just victims; they are survivors and leaders on the community-level backlines of peace and stability.

Do you know that people fall in love in war and go to school and go to factories and hospitals and get divorced and go dancing and go playing and live life?

Stronger women build stronger nations.

The injustice is that women continue to be the main target of violence both during wartime and peacetime and yet there is still a lack of a public outrage.
