If half the society isn't engaged on any number of sectors, success and potential will be limited. In that sense, I do definitely believe there is a growing movement and moment for women's issues.
Zainab Salbi
Everything can be taken from you in a second, but the human spirit is so strong. War can teach you so much about evil, and so much about good.
Zainab Salbi
I find it amazing that the only group of people who are not fighting and not killing and not pillaging and not burning and not raping, and the group of people who are mostly — though not exclusively — who are keeping life going in the midst of war, are not included in the negotiating table.
Zainab Salbi
Only 8 percent of peace talks have included women at any level.

It seems to me that violence against women has been tolerated for so long that the world has become numb to it.
Zainab Salbi
Every woman must own her story otherwise we are all part of the silence.

My message to the world is that until we recognize that peace is not just the absence of war but the revival of life on the backlines, where women are keeping kids in school, caring for the sick and injured, and daily negotiating space for the continuation of critical life processes of this nature, we're going to continue to miss the point.
Zainab Salbi

Without women's full inclusion at the decision making table, we cannot have any healthy decision making that is good for men and women alike.
Zainab Salbi
I believe that there is an urgent need to restructure the discussion of war to include the impact it has on women.
Zainab Salbi
I learned that victims come in all image - some raped, some witnessing an act of violence, some losing loved ones. I learned that the solutions come by both listening to the people impacted by the crisis and by learning from historical experiences in other places.
Zainab Salbi
Believe in your passions and act on them.
Zainab Salbi
The front[line] of wars is increasingly non-human eyes peering down on our perceived enemies from space, guiding missiles toward unseen targets.
Zainab Salbi
When war ends, women are the first to pick up the pieces. Where there is no market place, they go door to door. When homes are destroyed, mothers and daughters haul stones to rebuild or plow fields together.
Zainab Salbi
Growing up under Saddam's rule, I witnessed many injustices occurring everyday in my country and yet I could not do anything to prevent them.
Zainab Salbi
The single thing all women need in the world is inspiration, and inspiration comes from storytelling.
Zainab Salbi
Only 1 in 13 participants in peace negotiations since 1992 has been a woman.
Zainab Salbi
From an economic perspective, women are treated unfairly: they perform 66 percent of the world's work and produce 50 percent of the food but they only earn 10 percent of the income and own 1 percent of the property.
