Connection in Peacebuilding: Women PeaceMakers Complete Two-Week Residency at Kroc School

For two weeks in November, the Women PeaceMakers visited the University of San Diego campus to participate in events, share their experiences with each other, speak in Kroc School classes, prepare to conduct original research, and more. 

What this year’s Women PeaceMakers have in common is that they are all members of a diaspora, and they work to build peace and justice in their communities around the world. This year’s Women PeaceMaker Fellows include Bochra Laghssais, who focuses on Indigenous Amazigh women’s peacebuilding leadership in the Netherlands; Mariia Levchenko, who builds connections between diaspora communities in Germany; and Temi Mwale, who focuses on Black women’s leadership in the racial equity space in the United Kingdom.
