The single thing all women need in the world is inspiration, and inspiration comes from storytelling.

Only 1 in 13 participants in peace negotiations since 1992 has been a woman.

The front[line] of wars is increasingly non-human eyes peering down on our perceived enemies from space, guiding missiles toward unseen targets.

Women are part of peace keeping troops in countries like Liberia.

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.

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

Women have never been a chief negotiator in any UN-sponsored talks.
