Jody Williams - Nobel Women's Initiative
Loading...
Uploaded by socialedge on Jun 25, 2008
Jody Williams received the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for her work with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL).
She is now the founder and chair of the Nobel Women's Initiative, where six of the seven women alive today who have received the Nobel Peace Prize together bring change for women around the world.
In this three-minute interview with Global X, she tells of her passion for global affairs. She remembers being worried about the Vietnam war when she was still a student, which led to her involvement around the US presence in El Salvador.
But she is quick to say that "you don't need to be a full time activist to make the world a better place."
Her advice: "Find an organization working on an issue of interest to you. Volunteer. Give one hour a month. Maybe you will become so engaged that you will give two hours a month, then maybe an hour a week. Imagine if all the people who believed in a better world did that --what a world could and would be!"
Her wish: "Just don't whine about issues! Get up and take action to make a better world!"
