خطوط من الحياة: أدب النساء حول حقوق الانسان

WLP convenes a Human Rights Series entitled Life Lines: The Literature of Women's Human Rights. Life Lines are readings by leading women poets and writers from around the world.

Women's writing, poetry or prose, can weave life lines which connect the reader/listener to testimonies and to calls for solidarity and action. The literature of human rights makes the reader/listener a witness to events, conditions, and social realities that are at times painful, and at other times full of hope. Life Lines are designed to reveal, to record, and to rescue. They come in all lengths and design, they are culture specific, and they are universal. They are women's voices cast across divides to convey understanding and appreciation for the pain of exile, torture, violence and war, and the possibility of starting afresh, of healing, safety, and peace.
