peace is. . .

"Now we are at the point where women are owning property whereas before women were part of the property." ~Workshop participants, Uganda

peace is. . .a world in which women are not treated as commodities

Across the world the most dangerous place for a woman to be is in her own home.

peace is. . .a world in which women are safe within their own homes
and free to come and go at will

At one clinic in India 7997 out of 8000 aborted fetuses were female.

                         peace is . . .a world in which female life is valued and celebrated

                         peace is. . .a world in which all women have both names and faces

Taken from peace is. . . - women imagine a peaceful world by Jennifer deGroot
