The Woman Who Loves Giraffes offers an intimate window into Anne’s idyllic life as a young woman following her dream, juxtaposed with the adversity she faced as a woman in science. Weaving through the past and present, her harrowing journey gives us an intimate look into the factors that destroyed her career and the forces that brought her back.

This panel will be an intergenerational conversation among expert #leaders who are spearheading critical movements for #peace and #security in countries across #Africa. The panel will feature Nobel Peace Laureate Leymah Gbowee and showcase the strategic contributions of #women #peacebuilders addressing current challenges and #mobilization strategies happening in the face of a range of #inequalities.
