Women and War in Their Own Words. A Performance by Paula Tait. UN Security Council Resolution 1325 acknowledges that "civilians, particularly women and children, account for the vast majority of those affected by armed conflict." This performance aims to show how women are affected by war by presenting their own poetry and stories, interspersed with songs and music. We hear from women whose response to war is to resist, protest and defy corrupt regimes at great personal risk. From Europe, America, Asia and Africa, every one of these women call for peace. Are we ready to hear them yet?
