Pacific Women Speak Out for Independence and Denuclearisation

by Zohl de Ishtar

Indigenous women from Australia, Bougainville, East Timor, French Polynesia, Hawaii, West Papua, Marshall Islands, New Zealand and Palau have overcome incredible odds to tell their stories of survival in a joint publication, Pacific Women Speak Out for Independence and Denuclearisation by Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in New Zealand, the Disarmament and Security Centre in New Zealand, and Australia's Pacific Connections. The editor, Zohl de Ishtar, says "This book is a contribution to the Hague Appeal for Peace, a global campaign to delegitimise war. It arises from our concern that indigenous Pacific women are rarely heard in the wider international arena and is an attempt to make their wisdom more available."
