What does peace actually look like?
🔵 Women at the table.
🔵 Women taking up roles in leadership.

In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection letter from Nature.

There are four broad reasons to hold meetings: to influence others, to make decisions, to solve problems, or to strengthen relationships. These are all active processes, so passive participation in meetings doesn't really work. s.hbr.org/3pwgnVI
