Although women's rights happened ages ago in developed countries, developing countries still struggle with equality. During times of war, women are the brokers for peace, but still become victims of war. On this hour of All Sides, we'll be talking about the plight of women in war-torn areas of the world.
Guests:
- Abigail Disney (Executive Producer, PBS Documentary series "Women, War and Peace)

[/caption] We often hear of military casualties, we might even hear the language "collateral damage." Abby Disneyâfilmmaker, philanthropist, and scholarâputs a face and a story on the women who are disproportionately impacted by war and subsequently left out of the peace-building process. You will feel the intensity of the situation and hear the stories of hope, reconciliation, and deep, lasting peace. Women, War & Peace is an upcoming series produced by Abby Disney that spotlights the stories of women in conflict zones around the world, placing women at the center of an urgent dialogue about conflict and security, and reframing our understanding of modern warfare. (Women, War & Peace airs on WOSU TV beginning Tuesday, October 11 at 9pm.) Share the experience of listening and learning from Abby Disney on October 24, 2011. Bring your girlfriends, your co-workers, and your neighbors to spend some time with a woman who brings the often silenced voices of women to public television.
