I've noticed that conversations about peace or a world without violence can tend to focus on ending warfare or something happening somewhere else than where I am. The inspiring gathering of women who made up the May Unstoppable Women for a World Without Violence gathering made it clear that the experience of violence is widespread, and that it frequently connects close to home. Wherever it touches ground, this is an issue that needs everyone being part of the change. For each of us, creating peace starts with where we are and who we are being. The stories shared during the evening were powerful, and the suggestions clear and wide-ranging. The following suggestions were recorded from the evening's conversation. |
