Today, we’re happy to present the story of the Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace, and how these incredible human beings successfully SHUT DOWN a civil war in their country. They were able to achieve this with non-violence, solidarity between different religions, and one extra special, ancient, strategy. Let’s just say they strategically shut down the fish market.</p><p><a href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/internationalrealness/Liberia_Women.mp3">Listen Here</a></p><p>Download/Subscribe on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/international-realness-podcast/id1064663775">iTunes</a> and <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/international-realness?refid=stpr">Stitcher</a></p><p><a href="http://intlrealnessshownotes.tumblr.com/post/143796126201/womens-work-how-liberian-women-peacefully-ended">Show Notes</a></p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/22912005@N06/6521764959/">Photo Credit Abby flat-coat</a></p>https://international-realness.tumblr.com/post/143796653800https://international-realness.tumblr.com/post/143796653800Tue, 03 May 2016 12:45:52 -0400podcast liberia eclipsed peace war international international affairs non violence protestintlrealness@gmail.com (International Realness)
