Nobel Women's Initiative
The Nobel Women's Initiative is an international advocacy organisation based in
Betty Williams.[4] The only other living female Nobel Peace Prize winner, Aung San Suu Kyi, was under house arrest at the time of the initiative's formation. She became an honorary member on her release in 2010.[5] The initiative's first conference, in 2007, focused on women, conflict and security in the Middle East.[6]
The initiative defines "peace" as "the commitment to quality and justice; a democratic world free of physical, economic, cultural, political, religious, sexual and environmental violence and the constant threat of these forms of violence against women—indeed against all of humanity."[7][self-published source]
