Скачать или смотреть Lessons from Northern Ireland: Dawn Purvis on Reconciliation

Born in Belfast, Dawn Purvis came of age during The Troubles, the civil conflict that left more then 3,000 dead in Northern Ireland by the time a peace accord was signed in 1998. A member of the Progressive Unionist Party (PUP) and expert in women's issues, she won a seat in the 1996 Northern Ireland Forum election and then in the 1998 Northern Ireland Assembly election, representing East Belfast. She has been a staunch defender of the peace process as well as greater attention to the poverty and inequality that persists in the province.

Purvis currently chairs Healing Through Remembering, an extensive cross-community organization made up of a range of members holding different political perspectives working on a common goal of how to deal with the legacy of the past as it relates to the conflict in and about Northern Ireland.
