Women, War, and Peace

In advance of Malala Day in July, The Anne Frank Center USA is proud to present a program focusing on the impact of armed conflict on women and women’s role in peace-building. This event will include a special screening of the documentary short, Poder, which tells the powerful story of girl-led change in Guatemala. The film by Emmy-award winning director Lisa Russell tells how Elba and Emelin, two indigenous Guatemalan girls, overcame poverty and discrimination to transform a community of over 26,000 people, and their nation of 14 million. By mobilizing their community and government leaders, Elba and Emelin successfully advocated for legislation and funding to ensure Mayan girls can finish school and stay healthy. The screening will be introduced by Nicole Lordi, Senior Program & Research Analyst for Let Girls Lead.
