More quotes by 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
Working with women survivors of war has taught me that we need to listen to women's perspectives on war in order to understand how to effectively rebuild a country, a community and a family.
Zainab Salbi
Women are part of peace keeping troops in countries like Liberia.

Unfortunately, violence against women is not the only injustice women face globally it is one of the many inequalities that impede the full development of socially excluded women globally.
Zainab Salbi
I dont want to be someone in my sixties holding on to a group that I created when I was in my twenties.
Zainab Salbi
Women are not just victims they are survivors and leaders on the community-level backlines of peace and stability.
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.

From joblessness to lack of education and professional skills to sexual and gender-based violence, women face a multi-faceted oppression.
Zainab Salbi
Everything is give and take. The solutions are in the middle not in the extremity of the situation.
Zainab Salbi
The injustice is that women continue to be the main target of violence both during wartime and peacetime and yet there is still a lack of a public outrage.
Zainab Salbi
Long-term trauma for women who have survived armed conflict is a haunting reminder that health issues and depression can follow decades after the end of war, but women who hope for healing can and do move forward.
Zainab Salbi
Living in war is a co- existence with death.
Zainab Salbi
It is the diversity of views that stems from different experiences and different backgrounds that lead to healthy decision-making and not the unified experiences and unified views.
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
I by no means intend to simplify the challenges women face in any culture. Women are marginalized in all cultures in my opinion, some in more extreme ways than others.
Zainab Salbi
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
War is nothing but a microcosm of peace... it shows you life in a more intense way and that's how I continue to live it... for good or bad reasons.
Zainab Salbi
The single thing all women need in the world is inspiration, and inspiration comes from storytelling.
Zainab Salbi
Every woman must own her story otherwise we are all part of the silence.
Zainab Salbi
Women have never been a chief negotiator in any UN-sponsored talks.
