Gail Morgado and the Women in Black Network from Serbia
Gail Morgado was a 2007 Advocacy Project Peace Fellow who worked with the Women in Black Network from Serbia, an AP partner organization in Belgrade, Serbia. Before her fellowship, she had just finished her first year in the MSFS program at Georgetown University where she is concentrating in foreign policy and international security.
In 2004, Gail received her BA in political science and Spanish with a minor in Portuguese at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. She was awarded highest honors in political science for work as a Henry Rutgers Thesis Scholar researching Cuban-American relations and its influence in a transitional post-Castro regime.
Selected as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar to Portugal, Gail served as an "ambassador of goodwill" from 2004-05 and earned a post-graduate diploma in European studies that specialized in the political economics of Euro integration and community law of the European Union. Here, she also organized fundraisers and community activities, which helped to raise AIDS awareness and to increase national literacy and educational standards in Portugal.
Gail worked with Women in Black, a women`s feminist - anti-militarist peace organization that has been advocating against militarism, nationalism, war, sexism, and all forms of hatred, discrimination and violence since 1991. Gail worked with this courageous group of women to further their mission of peace and justice in a post-conflict society.
During her work with Women in Black she helped edit the following video filmed by Mima Shane. It documents the 12th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre.
