Read the stories from an extraordinary group of women who are mediating conflict, caring for refugees, restoring communities and building more responsive governments. These 15 leaders came together for CEDPA’s WomenLead in Promoting Peace and Stability workshop, held Oct. 23–Nov. 17, 2006 in Washington, D.C. Each has a powerful story to tell about the conflict in her country, and how women are building lasting peace by rewriting constitutions, negotiating human rights protections, securing access to land and water, and changing mindsets that limit women’s roles in their communities.
