Women are gaining influence as leaders throughout the world, fighting for peace, justice, the environment and civil society. In this program, we profile two government leaders tackling the monumental problem of war. Gambia's Fatou Bensouda is Deputy Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, a judicial body dedicated to human rights. And retired Colonel Ann Wright, a former United States military leader and diplomat for the State Department is an outspoken opponent of the U.S. war economy.
