Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition political party
International Fund for Ireland board member

Anne Carr’s keynote will look at the role of women prior to the talks process - in campaigning for the ceasefires, supporting victims and survivors of the conflict, and challenging sectarianism that contributed formidably to making a talks process and eventual Agreement possible.
She will discuss the challenges to equal participation in the talks the NIWC faced and key contributions they made. Her expertise in peacebuilding from grassroots through international negotiation will shed light on what remains to be addressed amidst both a shared and contested future.
