1,000 Women Nominated for Nobel Prize

After almost three years of meetings and decisions, teams from around the globe compiled a list of 1,ooo women nominated for the Nobe Peacel Prize. These 1,000 women hail from around the world and are actively engaged in community and global actions against war, human rights violations, gender inequity, poverty, hunger, and hate. The project 1000 Women for the Nobel Peace Prize 2005 defined as its objective the nominating of 1000 women to represent collectively the millions above-mentioned. The life stories, the visions, methods, strategies and networks of these 1000 women will be publicized. With this recognition they should receive both encouragement and gratitude for their commitment. The brains behind this big idea hope that this collective nomination of women will: make women's efforts visible; foster peace; scientifically validate peace; and strengthen networks. You can view the list of those nominated, broken down by country, or learn more about this innovative strategy to recognize the essential work of women everywhere.
