Warriors for Peace is a local group that organizes yoga fundraisers to support and celebrate human resilience.
The group was initially formed to support the women of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) who chose hope over despair, strength over fear, and love above all else. The City of Joy is a hospital and refugee center providing medical care, leadership and job training, shelter, education, and counseling to women who have been tortured and sexually abused during the Civil War in the DRC. Alternatives for Battered Women (ABW) and the City of Joy are safe havens from the constant threat of violence and a powerful example of what can be accomplished when people join together in love. By working to heal each other, these women also learn how to heal themselves and become a stand for peace to overcome violence in Rochester New York, the DRC, and across the world.
