She added that women should build networks for women to support each other and be good mentors to young girls.
She announced that she has co-founded a number of women initiatives because she believes that if women are allowed to take the reigns in peacebuilding in the Middle East, there would be peace.
Hassan-Nahoum also urged the men to support women, commending the Mayor of Jerusalem, who has been very supportive to her.
