Peace is Loud’s impact report for Women, War & Peace II shares the campaign’s background, strategy, implementation details, and lessons learned.
In 2019, a year when women were mobilizing and running for office in unprecedented numbers, the Women, War & Peace series returned to PBS. This second series demonstrated how some of the biggest international stories of recent memory are shaped by women. An all-female cast of directors presented four never-before-told stories about the women who risked their lives for peace, changing history in the process: Wave Goodbye to Dinosaurs (Eimhear O’Neill), Naila and the Uprising (Julia Bacha), A Journey of a Thousand Miles: Peacekeepers (Geeta Gandbhir and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy) and The Trials of Spring (Gini Reticker).
Peace is Loud’s impact campaign integrated digital communications, strategic partnerships, original resource creation, grassroots screenings, and flagship event organizing. In addition, the campaign produced Women, Peace and Power, a short film and training tool for policymakers, peacebuilders, and students, to spark a discussion on the nexus of gender and security.
