Noble Women’s Initiative
Nobel Women’s Initiative uses the prestige of the Nobel Peace Prize and six courageous women peace laureates – Rigoberta Menchú Tum, Jody Williams, Shirin Ebadi, Tawakkol Karman, Leymah Gbowee, and Mangari Waathai – to magnify the power and visibility of women working in countries around the world for peace, justice and equality. It is their mission to use the visibility and prestige of the Nobel Prize to spotlight, amplify and promote the work of grassroots women’s organizations and movements around the world. 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence is a global annual campaign that brings attention to gender violence and highlights the work of activists all over the world. Every year, each day from November 25th to December 10th, Nobel Women’s Initiative highlights 16 grassroots women activists and peacebuilders working for peace, justice and equality.
