内容简介
1000 PeaceWomen Across the Globe introduces the 1000 women who were collectively nominated for the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize. Each peacewoman is presented on a double page, with a biography on one page, and in most cases a portrait photograph on the facing page, or alternatively a quotation. The biographies provide insight into the life and work of women engaged in social justice and peace in different countries and contexts. The biographies are arranged around ten thematic areas of work:
Reconciliation and Reconstruction
Women's Rights - Human Rights on the Way to Gender Democracy
The Struggle for Survival: Minorities and Indigenous Peoples
Economic Rights and Livelihood
Justice and Peace
Stopping the hidden war against women: Women, Health & Peace
A Thousand Ways to Educate for a Global Culture of Peace
Women's efforts for Environmental Justice & Ecological Security
A Cultural Conception of Peace
Politics & Governance
The book reflects cultural differences and the different ways that women articulate their vision of peace; and presents a colorful mosaic of different styles and voices. The book is produced by Swiss publisher Kontrast and published internationally by Scalo.
1000 PeaceWomen Across the Globe is an important reference and guide for NGOs, governments, ecumenical groups and peace and women’s networks, as well as individuals interested in grassroots movements and the growth of democratic civil society.
The publication was awarded by the Swiss Ministry of Culture as "One of the Most Beautiful Books of 2005", and we would like to recognise and thank the work of Alberto Vieceli and Tania Prill.
