Mary Robinson speaking on 'Women, Children and Conflict'

Redwood City, California. 2008. Mary Robinson participated in the Global Philanthropy Forum panel titled 'Women, Children and Conflict', describing some of the stories she heard from brave and incredible women on a recent trip to Eastern Chad. She talked about how many women who have been affected by conflict are building strength by linking up to find more effective solutions to address gender based violence, poverty, and gaps in opportunity.

"Through conversations among elders and emerging leaders, donors and social investors gather at the Global Philanthropy Forum's 7th Annual Conference to build alliances and spread the ideas necessary to promote human rights, advance global health, manage natural resources, spread economic opportunity and stop mass atrocities."
