The
Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded annually since 1901, but only 12 women have
received this prestitious award. In 2005, 1000 women peacebuilders' names from
150 countries were nominated as part of the 1000 Women For The Noble Peace Prize
Project. Although the project did not receive the Nobel Prize that year, it succeeded
in creating a campaign to help make women's peacebuilding efforts around the world
more recognized and supported. Below are a few of these inspiring female Peace
Heroes - for a complete list visit : 1000peacewomen.org
Be a hero for a better world. Every effort to make
the world a better place makes a difference!
