"Listening with the heart, connecting the dots, and right brain thinking in generating alternative narratives and options—these are what we accentuate as women's unique competencies as mediators. Ultimately, the goal is to strengthen among all stakeholders this 'feminine principle' as a creative force towards positive peace."
