Women are crucial to attaining lasting peace, and yet in times of war and conflict they are seen as victims, and too often excluded from formal peace-building processes. Our Nobel Peace Prize laureates seeking to change the world through de-escalating war and conflict internationally and preserving peaceful elections will be in a rare conversation to discuss the crucial role women play in fighting for peace and democracy. The conversation will be moderated by Emily Wilkins, National Club President, at a Headliners Luncheon on Friday, 13 September, 2024.
The Headliners Luncheon highlighting women leading in change will feature Shirin Ebadi, the 2003 laureate from Iran; Leymah Gbowee, the 2011 laureate from Liberia; Tawakkol Karman, the 2011 laureate from Yemen; Oleksandra Matviichuk, the 2022 laureate from Ukraine; and Jody Williams, the 1997 laureate from the United States.
