2021 Women PeaceMakers Event Virtual The Media Line Staff
The Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice is pleased to invite you to the 2021 Women PeaceMakers event!
The Kroc School’s signature (WPM) event returns on April 22, 2021 – and this time, we’re going virtual! Tune in from your corner of the world to learn from and with this year’s four extraordinary women leaders about the powerful role women play in negotiating peace.
Each year, the WPMs are selected from a competitive set of applicants based on their accomplishments and expertise related to a given research focus. For 2020-2021, the WPMs are focused on a critical topic: how international peacebuilding organizations can better partner with local women peacebuilders to address the closing spaces and increased insecurity women are currently facing when working to end cycles of violence.

On Jan. 20, millions of people across the country and around the world breathed a sigh of relief with the inauguration of Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States.
For so many, it was a day filled with pride and gratitude. The events of the inauguration, including poet Amanda Gorman’s breathtaking performance, reminded me of the power of hope and sacrifice that despite the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, many still believe in fighting for a more peaceful and inclusive union.
For our democracy to survive, this must end

As a riotous mob of thousands stormed our Capitol, I watched in shock. Stunned. My heart broken.
This will be remembered as one of the most shameful moments in America’s history. A moment that has left the free world gasping in horror, and democracy’s many enemies Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un and Xi Jinping, to name a few chortling with delight. Most troubling, it was entirely predictable.
