For the past three weeks I have been watching a PBS special program titled, Women, War, and Peace, and I must say that it is perhaps one of the most comprehensive reports on the role women have taken in the peace efforts and political change of some of the most troubled countries in the world. If you havent watched it please do yourself a favor and watch IT! I have learned so much from the women featured in this program, and more than ever, I feel so lucky to live in a country where I know my voice is heard.
As you can imagine, many of these stories are sad and extremely disturbing but learning that many have taken these negative experiences and done something positive to help others is quite admirable. Anyway, I have a new found respect for women in countries Im not sure I will ever visit but that somehow I feel connected to because I care.
