Description/notes
The Nobel Women’s Initiative uses the prestige of the Nobel Peace Prize and five courageous women peace laureates—Rigoberta Menchú Tum, Jody Williams, Shirin Ebadi, Tawakkol Karman, and Leymah Gbowee—to magnify the power and visibility of women working in countries around the world for peace, justice, and equality. The five women bring together their extraordinary experiences and work to spotlight, amplify, and promote the work of grassroots women’s organizations and movements around the world. The Nobel Women’s Initiative was established in 2006.
