Paying Homage to Women's Roles in Peace and Disarmament

 

A major source of devastation, human suffering and poverty, war affects all aspects of economic, social and political life. And over time, the nature of warfare itself has changed - it is no longer soldiers who suffer the largest number of casualties, but civilians. In World War I, just 14 percent of deaths were civilian; today, that number has risen to over 75 percent. The nature of the battlefield has changed as well - no longer fought in remote battlefields between armies, wars now rage in our homes, schools, our communities and increasingly on women’s bodies. May 24th is celebrated globally as International Women’s Day for Peace and Disarmament. This article was written in honour of the many women who have campaigned tirelessly for global peace.
