Descripción: «On International Women's Day 2001, International Alert and the United Nations Development Fund for Women presented the first Millennium Peace Prize for Women. The award was the first of its kind to specifically honour the vital role that women play in peacebuilding and the indispensable contributions that women have made to resolving and preventing violent conflict.
The Millennium Peace Prize was inspired by the hundreds of testimonies of the incredible and often unrecognised efforts of women who are working to bring peace to war-affected communities world-wide. The recognition of women’s international peacebuilding work has been very poor - in its 100 years, only 10 of 106 Nobel Peace Prize winners have been women or women’s organisations.»
