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.

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

I have come to understand that in order to effectively advance women's rights, we need to galvanize a global women's movement.

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

Living in war is a co- existence with death.

Since war often enters homes through the "kitchen door," we need to understand women's attempts to keep life going in the face of shortage of food, closing of schools and reduced freedoms.

Passionately enjoy life!
