January 21, 2017 was a remarkable outpouring from women marching in solidarity all over the world. More than a peaceful democratic movement, this revolutionary spirit contains the potential to change the world.
Women acting together to disrupt the status quo has proven to be the most effective way to create change. A study of 40 peace processes in 35 countries over the past three decades has proven how effective women can be as agents of change.

The Women’s March gave me a jolt of inspiration as 2017 begun, followed by an extra dose of hope when I met organizers of the Women Wage Peace movement in Israel. Moved by a sense of unity that instantly passed between us, we understood each other without words. They felt I was “with them,” sharing a common bond as women who want to create change, kindred spirits traveling on a revolutionary road together.
