    Kip Tiernan and Betty Burkes: PeaceWomen

    Mon, Oct 24, 2005
    Kip Tiernan, founder of Rosie's Place, the country's first drop-in emergency shelter for women and Betty Burkes, a world-renown peace educator, were both nominated in 2005 for the Nobel Peace Prize. The two women from New England talk about women worldwide engaged in the cause of peace and human dignity. In 2005, one thousand women from more than 150 countries around the world were jointly nominated for the famous Nobel Peace Prize under the initiative PeaceWomen Across the Globe.

    The nominated women, from all religious, cultural and class backgrounds, work daily in small villages and big cities to further the cause of peace and justice, often under difficult circumstances.
