The Women Peacemakers are back on campus! Join the Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice to hear from four inspiring women peacebuilders from around the world. Learn how they build peace in their communities and the lessons we can take from them to build peace here at home. Register. 

• Juanita Roca Sanchez (Bolivia) centers her activism on promoting inclusion and nation building, as well as the respect for human rights and the rule of law in Bolivia. She holds a PhD in Anthropology, History and Development Studies and is an independent scholar, member of the Women Waging Peace Network, and associate researcher of CIDES-UMSA.
• Tania Cecilia Martínez (Honduras) focuses on democratic governance and the collaboration between government and civil society groups to improve citizen participation in their own governance and development contexts.
• Nattecia Nerene Bohardsingh (Jamaica) is a lawyer and advocate that has worked in reparatory justice, gender-based violence, and human rights at the domestic and international level. She is the founder of Children of the Maafa, a civil society initiative that works to promote respect and freedom for people of African descent in Jamaica and the Caribbean.
• María Dolores Hernández Montoya (Mexico) has worked in program design and implementation with various global organizations to strengthen international and domestic cooperation efforts for urban development and safety. Her work is influenced by the belief that a multi-sectional collaborative approach to violence and crime prevention is key to creating sustainable peace.

This event marks the first time in three years that the Women PeaceMakers will be on campus. We hope you will join us in welcoming them back to the University of San Diego!
