Nobel Women's Initiative

The Vision of the NWI is a world transformed- a nonviolent world of security, equality and well-being for all.

As women who have had the privilege of witnessing and participating in extraordinary human endeavors, we believe:

• Transformation occurs when people's understanding of peace moves from a choice to an inherent responsibility
  

• Peace is constructed and created everyday
  

• Diversity and difference can be a source of great strength and creativity
  

• The responsibility of governments is to ensure human security that is a healthy environment, justice and equality for all citizens (replacing the obsession with national security)
  

• Women have unique, creative, and powerful skills in resolving and transforming conflict
  

• The seemingly unmovable can be moved
