"We don't get anywhere by pacifying with politeness."
To mark this year's global #16 Days campaign, Nobel Women's initiative profiles 10 courageous women activists and human rights defenders standing up to gender-based violence in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Yemen, Myanmar, Sudan, Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Each activist recounts a piercing personal story and shares wisdom and insight that can only be gained the hard way through experience. Each shines a light on the critical importance of solidarity among women. We are honoured and inspired by their voices.
