Description
To Be Heard: Women's Voices across Land and Sea is written by authors from Oceania, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe:
Alison Overeem, Angela Costi, Alisa Klima, Douangdeune Bounyavong, Fatimah S., Gabrielle Journey Jones, Ilire Zajmi, Karen George, Linda Uan, Maria Serrano, Micaela Sauber, Najia Alwaseea, Qaisra Shahraz, Pauline Joslyn Soaki, Razia Ghazal, Rebecca Tobo Olul-Hossen, Shirali Raina Labroo, Wisam Zeidan, Zehra Aygül Gürdal, Zukhra Ikram and Adele Jones.
A powerful testament to social and political transformation through solidarity and sisterhood . and lived experience of diverse women. It's a celebration of women's resilience and agency, confronting systems that marginalize and silence. In a context of poly-crisis, the book is also a rallying cry for resistance, persistence, hope, and collective change.
Bettina Baldeschi, Strategic Advisor - Women Deliver, Board Director - Gender at Work, Board Director - Environment Victoria, Former CEO - International Women's Development Agency
This is a highly original and moving collection of women's narratives across an absorbing range of contexts - not just of geography but of war, displacement, violence, loss, climate change, migration. Their voices show how women stay strong . and of their constant efforts at resilience within families and communities. To understand how survival and hope are possible in grim times, it is vital that these memories and stories are surfaced. They are otherwise unrecorded. This then is an enlightening and signifi cant collection.
Lynn Davies, Emeritus Professor of International Education, at the University of Birmingham, UK & Co-Director of ConnectFutures
This book is a collective journal of women's life stories, bringing together wisdoms from lived experiences and powerful visions for the future. Essays offer valuable insights into inclusion, resilience, and agency - in confl ict and climate emergencies both in the frontlines and in the background, during the spectacle of crisis and its aftermaths. To hear women's voices is to address interrelated inequalities and historical injustices across the world. Listen - women are singing of paths towards gender justice, climate justice, and peacebuilding.
