The Women on the Bridge campaign started last year, with women uniting on a bridge bordering war ravaged Congo and Rwanda, calling for peace. Over 20,000 women and men joined them in solidarity on bridges across 4 continents. This year, we are standing on bridges for the women in Afghanistan, who are still being excluded from taking part in peace negotiations. The Say NO team spoke to Afghan activist Nadine Gross recently about why it is important for us to take action. Read more here!
