Living in war is a co- existence with death.

Changes don't happen in the world by playing it safe, taking risks is the way to change the world.

War is nothing but a microcosm of peace... it shows you life in a more intense way and that's how I continue to live it... for good or bad reasons.

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

It seems to me that violence against women has been tolerated for so long that the world has become numb to it.

Like life, peace begins with women. We are the first to forge lines of alliance and collaboration across conflict divides.

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