Women for Peace
|
Betty Williams was a Northern Irish Nobel Prize laureate. Her mission was to work for peace in her home. She had a Protestant father and Catholic mother, a family background from which she derived religious tolerance. Following a horrific incident during the Northern Ireland conflict, Betty _ Williams got involved in peace activism. In 1976, she aligned with Mairead Corrigan and started a campaign called "Women for Peace". Having catching ideas, they organised anti-violence marches across Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain. The Nobel Peace Prize 1976 was the greatest reward Williams and Corrigan received for their work. Later, Betty Williams moved to the United States while continuing her peace activism as a lecturer. She wanted to lengthen periods of peace all over the world and fought for women’s rights. At Bradford University in March 2011 Williams spoke about vulnerability and causes of violence. In her talk, she stood up for young Muslim women on campus and pointed out that peace researchers always had to look globally, beyond current conflicts.
