The New Freedom Fighters: Women and Nonviolent Resistance
From the Civil Rights Movement to Gaza, nonviolent resistance is increasingly important in conflicts across the world. The New Freedom Fighters explores the experiences of women who live every day under military threat. Against all odds, they have started a movement of nonviolent resistance. In a remote corner of the world in a society that often restricts them in the name of tradition, women are leading the way to a better future. They are defending their human rights and communities, meeting gunfire with economic, social, and cultural empowerment.
