Peace Village: Women-led initiative to promote peaceful and resilient communities in Indonesia

On Indonesia’s Java island, women are at the forefront of overcoming the threat posed by radicalism towards peace and human security at the community level. Everyday women – diverse in age and background – are flourishing to become agents of peace, leading their communities to build peaceful and resilient societies.

This album collects photos of ten stories of Peace Villages that reflect women’s essential roles as active agents of peace and promoters of diversity in their local communities.
