Women's peacemaking on this day
- 1992 Donna Husby and Bonnie Urfer arrested in Ashland County, WI during ELF protest.
- 1993 Belgrade Women in Black New Year protest: "We mistrust a ‘peace’ based on ‘deals’ made by the nationalist-militaristic elites who have caused this war. We mistrust the so-called mediators who use peace slogans to fan war and ethnic hatred; they are part of the same old patriarchal militaristic machinery. We no longer harbour the illusion that the international community will not apply the logic of violence and the right of the stronger."
