“The more division the Iraqi authorities cultivated, the more we worked for inclusion. The more aggression they showed us, the more time we devoted to peace and reconciliation. The more civilians they tortured and slaughtered, the more my instinct guided me to reach out to all segments of society.

Because one day, we thought, one day the world will wake up and realize the repercussions of overlooking our suffering, and on that day, the souls of victims will finally find peace.” GenocidePeace QuotesPeace On EarthPeacemakersWidad AkreyiVictims Of WarDr WidadFreedom AwardPeace AwardPacem In Terris Author:Widad Akreyi

It is time to embody justice in our intentions and actions.” JusticeGenocidePeace QuotesPeace On EarthConflictsPeacemakersWidad AkreyiDr WidadFreedom AwardPeace Award Author:Widad Akreyi
