In partnership with Peace is Loud and featuring a conversation with filmmaker Abigail Disney and women peacemakers -- including Nobel Laureate Jody Williams, WILPF Secretary General Madeleine Rees, AWID Executive Director, Lydia Alpízar Durán, World YWCA General Secretary Nyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda and the Honorable Shinkai Karokhail, this salon asked us to think differently about the way we approach conflict, and women’s roles as agents of change. Hosted at the home of Abigail Disney, we were moved, inspired and challenged to continue to work for positive change in our increasingly complex world.
More photos can be found in the album on Feminist.com's Facebook page.
