I'm not sexist in any way - sexism is another form of violence, and there are many great men in this world.
From Betty Williams
I always say that non-violence is not the weapon of the weak. It is the weapon of the strong.
The voice of women, the voice of those most closely involved in bringing forth new life, has not always been listened to when it pleaded and implored against the waste of life in war after war.
Turmoil is everywhere, and the whole world is waiting for solutions to come from the top down. That's not how it works - community change from the bottom up makes a real difference.
We want to live, love and build a just and peaceful society. We dedicate ourselves to working with our neighbors day in and day out to create this peaceful society.
Governments do not have the answers - indeed, quite the reversal. A lot of times, they not only do not have the answers, but they themselves are the problem. If we are committed to helping our world's children, then we must begin to create solutions from the bottom up.
The voice of women has a special role and a special soul force in the struggle for a nonviolent world.
Peace in the world is everybody's business, no matter where you live or what you do.
I like to say that arms are not for killing. They are for hugging.
War has traditionally been a man's work, although we know that often women were the cause of violence.
