Description

Leymah Gbowee's powerful story is one of transformation from hopelessness to liberation. As a young woman, she was deeply affected by the brutal Liberian civil war, which destroyed her country and claimed the lives of countless relatives and friends. This experience sparked a realisation that women and girls are disproportionately affected by conflict, leading her to take action. Gbowee's courage led her to organise and lead the Liberian Mass Action for Peace, a nonviolent movement that brought together Christian and Muslim women in a bold campaign against the war. The movement engaged in public protest, confronted those in power, and even held a sex strike. With an army of women, Gbowee played a key role in bringing peace to her nation. This gripping chronicle is a testament to the transformative power of collective action and the importance of empowering girls and women.
