A vital, paradigm-shifting book that dares to demonstrate how lasting world peace is genuinely within our reach. 

Let’s dare to pursue peace! Faced with the threat of a new world war, exacerbated by the proliferation of armed conflicts, authoritarian regimes, and macho leaders who advocate the law of the jungle, the four authors argue that lasting world peace remains possible—provided it is based on a more equitable sharing of power with women and minorities.

In the aftermath of World War II, the Charter of the United Nations sought to put an end to the “scourge of war” and called on governments to “join forces” for “we the peoples.” By revisiting these founding principles, this book advocates for a peace that must be built on a new multilateralism and citizen mobilization. A transformation rooted in the values of feminism: humanism, pacifism, equality.

Jocelyne Adriant-Mebtoul, Fanny Benedetti, Sophie Pouget Larabi, and Moïra Sauvage are four authors whose experiences and commitments complement one another, united by a shared feminism that is deeply pacifist and humanist.
