Five Minutes at Forum with Rebecca Wolfe

Youth are often associated with violence, but stories of youth as peace leaders often go untold, says Rebecca Wolfe, of Mercy Corps. In a conversation with InterAction's Lauren Whitehead, Wolfe talks about young people in Yemen who maintained their nonviolence commitment even when they were shot at. "This is one of the most militarized places in the world, where there are two guns for every person," she said, "and they still stood up for peace."
