Leymah Gbowee, Feminist Peacemaker
Shortly before she was announced as a Nobel Peace Laureate, Leymah Gbowee was on a book tour in the US. She gave Janie Rezner of Women's Voices a passionate and wide-ranging interview about herself, her culture, the successful Liberian women's peace movement, and why women must take our share of responsibility for politics and peacemaking. References UNSCR 1325 Leymah Gbowee [pronounced LAY-mah, BEAU-wee] is a trained trauma abuse counsellor, a domestic abuse survivor, and a hereditary matriarch. She led Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace, which forced the negotiations that ended the Second Liberian Civil War in 2003. Their actions are featured in the film Pray the Devil Back to Hell. Gbowee authored the book Mighty Be Our Powers. She continues to work with women to make peace

UNSCR 1325
Adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council on 31 October 2000, 1325 calls for women's participation in conflict resolution, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding. The now-closed Women's Tribune Center, which specialized in disseminating information from the UN in forms usable at the grassroots, commissioned radio announcements and dramas on the topic. Included in this 2007 WINGS production are dramas from Uganda, the Philippines, and Liberia. Also two interviews - see Guests.
