Congresswoman Johnson Speaks At The United States Institute Of Peace

Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson recently spoke at the United States Institute Of Peace. She spoke about the role of women in world peace, and her work with various peace initiatives around the world.


In her remarks Congresswoman Johnson said "I really do believe that the majority of the people on this planet want to see a culture of peace in the world, and it seems like such a big thing to accomplish that sometimes it can be discouraging because you are not sure you see the results as you move along."


Congresswoman Johnson went on to discuss the role of women in peace negotiations saying, "Just add women around the table... get women at the negotiating table and we will see a difference."
