Peace is more than the absence of war. It's a choice replacing violence with dialogue, division with cooperation, exclusion with participation.
Today at the Culture of Peace Forum under the theme “Women’s Leadership to promote a Culture of Peace” I highlighted that when women participate meaningfully in peace processes, agreements are 20% more likely to last, and conflict is 37% less likely to return.
Yet too many negotiating tables still exclude the women who hold the keys to peace.

Refika Birgül'ün anlatımıyla Atatürk ve portakalların inanılmaz hikayesi:
🔷 Atatürk, yetiştirilmesi için emirler veriyor.
🔷 İtalya'dan fidanlar geliyor.
🔷 Atatürk'ün böyle çok yakışıklı, bir elinde portakal tuttuğu meşhur bir fotoğrafı vardır.
🔷 Geliyor, bir tane portakalı alıyor ve kabuğunu soyuyor.
🔷 Yarısını Salih Bozok'a veriyor, yiyorlar ve tadı çok hoşuna gidiyor.
🔷 Sonra "Ne kadar ekilecek ya bunlar?" diye soruyor.
🔷 Salih Bozok bir yer göstererek, "Şu kadar bir yeri düşündük paşam" diyor.
🔷 Atatürk, "Hayır" diyor, "Buradan gözünüzü alabildiğiniz yere kadar ekeceksiniz."
🔷 Salih Bozok da, "O kadar paramız yok" diye karşılık veriyor.
🔷 Atatürk, "Hayır, bundan sonra para sorun olmayacak." diyor.
🔷 "Gözümüzün alabildiği kadar yere bu portakallar ekilecek, ben parayı halledeceğim." diyor.
🔷 Ve portakallar bolca, bereketli bir şekilde yetişiyor.
🔷 Bolca yetiştikten sonra Ruslar gelip bu portakalları almak istiyor.
🔷 Biz o dönem üretime o kadar alışmamışız ki; bir taraftan çay, bir taraftan muz yetiştirmeye çalışıyoruz.
🔷 "Bu portakalları isteyen var ama ne yapacağız, kaça satalım?" diye herkesi bir panik alıyor.
🔷 Atatürk de diyor ki: "Biz bunları parayla satmayalım."
🔷 "Karşılığında fabrikalar isteyelim, fabrika için makineler isteyelim."
🔷 "Bize aslında o know-how'ı, yani işletilmesini öğretsinler."
🔷 Bunun üzerine bu portakallarla kurulan fabrikaları söyleyeceğim, anlatırken tüylerim diken diken oluyor.
🔷 1. Nazilli Sümerbank Basma Fabrikası.
🔷 2. Kayseri Sümerbank Tekstil Fabrikası.
🔷 3. İskenderun Demir Çelik Fabrikası.
🔷 4. Şişecam Fabrikası (Paşabahçe).
🔷 Aliağa Rafinerisi, Seydişehir Alüminyum Fabrikası ve Oymapınar Barajı.
