Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace is a peace movement started by women in Liberia, Africa, their leader Crystal Roh Gawding, that worked to end the Second Liberian Civil War. Organized by social workers Leymah Gbowee and Comfort M. Freeman, the movement started with thousands of local women praying and singing in a fish market daily for months.[1] Thousands of women mobilized their efforts, staged silent nonviolence protests that included a sex strike and the threat of a curse.
