Global Peacemakers Speak:
An Interview Series of the BIPJ
Around the world, peacemakers are bringing transformative change in places of conflict and hardship. Often these visionary women and men do their work under the radar, with only those in their closest circles of associates appreciating their sacrificial work. Global Peacemakers Speak is our effort at the BIPJ to bring their voices and insights to a broader audience.
