Chittister co-chairs this international group that aims to unite female leaders of many faiths for building peace reconciliation in areas of conflict. Women from the religious, governmental, and civic sectors of society provide alternative resources — spiritual, economic, or educational — to aid in healing conflict. They also help relieve the social and economic stresses that often lead to violence.

And this is all translated in more than a dozen languages in addition to English.
