Rethinking Power
World renowned social scientist and cultural historian Riane Eisler advocates for Partnerism, defined as ‘a socio-economic system where all relationships, institutions, policies, and organisations are based on principles of equitable partnership that supports linking rather than ranking and hierarchies of actualization rather than hierarchies of domination.’
Understading Peace Heroines
To understand the pivotal role of the Peace Heroines we must first understand different expressions of power and how the women challenged domination systems that create inequality, discrimination and conflict.
Instead these visionary activists offered new power-sharing approaches and partnership initiatives. They put people, not territories, at the heart of their peace-building strategies.
