Policy Day 2000

Some 200 policy shapers from around the world joined with 70 international women peacemakers for the second annual Women Waging Peace Policy Day held at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government on November 17, 2000. These leaders represented the United Nations, regional security organizations, the US State Department, the US Agency for International Development, the World Bank, media, transnational corporations, non-governmental organizations, and foundations. They met with Waging delegates in small groups to generate specific policy recommendations. Each of the 22 roundtable discussions included at least three Women Waging Peace delegates, who shared their insights and expertise born of many years of work on the frontlines of peace in their conflict-torn communities.
