This is a great video of an initiative taken by Israeli and Arab women to create peace.

In 2000, the United Nations passed UN Resolution 1325, which called for the inclusion of women in leadership positions in peace-making. A great organization called No Women No Peace then mobilized to pressure governments to be accountable if they prevent women from participating in peace-making.

Visit No Women No Peace to take part in their initiative or create you own. The world would be a better place.
