What a beautiful turnaround we had last Saturday for our International Women's Day panel discussion at the Jubilee Library in Brighton. Mebrak Ghebreweldi, Jenny Engledow, Rawaa Ibrahim and Dr Aijuan Wang presented their perspectives and personal narratives on peacebuilding. While each speaker's experience was distinct, they were united by the common thread of women's influence in global peace efforts. Thank you to each member of the receptive audience for their participation. The fight is still on.

Please make sure to book your free tickets by tomorrow to avoid disappointment!
