Jody Williams, Peace Activist, Professor and 1997 Recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize joins Mungi on Everyday Ubuntu this week. As the founding coordinator of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, Jody and the campaign won the Nobel Peace Prize for their work in banning and clearing anti-personnel landmines.

In this conversation, Jody speaks of how she got into the work that has been described as "life-threatening human rights work", though she happens to think that's a bit of a ‘dramatic description’ herself. She was instrumental in launching the Nobel Women’s Initiative in 2006 with sister laureate Dr. Shirin Ebadi and she speaks to Mungi about the strengths that come from bringing this cohort of women together to work for justice and progress. Recalling the Ubuntu lesson 'Strength lies in unity', Jody's work embodies the good that can be done when we actually work together. There's even a bit of a discussion about food from her cookbook 'Ingredients for Peace'!
