Nobel Peace Laureate Jody Williams explains the significance of discussing women, war, and peace ahead of the Nobel Women’s Initiative’s fourth biennial conference, “Moving Beyond Militarism & War: Women-driven solutions for a nonviolent world.”
“The biggest impacts of today’s wars are on women and children…If we are able to stop the militarization of the world…to start teaching our children about conflict resolution rather than glorifying [war], we can have a huge impact on the lives of women and children. And when we have an impact on the lives of women and children, we effect everybody in the world.”
