Our efforts in 2015 were inspired by the 20th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing. The work done at that historic gathering in 1995 paved the way for groundbreaking progress toward women’s full participation. Leaders from around the world came together to demand greater equality and more accountability, paving the way for a new generation of women leaders who would redefine what was possible for us all. Many of those women, however, operated behind the headlines. We often didn’t know their names, but they were there, working for peace.
Vital Voices exists for these women.
