Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace is a peace movement started by women in Liberia, Africa that worked to end the Second Liberian Civil War. Organized by social workers Leymah Gbowee and Comfort M. Freeman, the movement started with thousands of local women praying and singing in a fish market daily for months.〔(2009 )〕 Thousands of women mobilized their efforts, staged silent nonviolence protests that included a sex strike and the threat of a curse. ==Peace deal== In 2003 during the Second Liberian Civil War, Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace forced a meeting with President Charles Taylor and extracted a promise from him to attend peace talks in Ghana〔(Bio of Gbowee Leymah )〕 to negotiate with the rebels from Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy and Movement for Democracy in Liberia. A delegation of Liberian women went to Ghana to continue to apply pressure on the warring factions during the peace process.〔(Liberian women pray as the nation heads to the polls )〕 They staged a sit in outside of the Presidential Palace, blocking all the doors and windows and preventing anyone from leaving the peace talks without a resolution. The women of Liberia became a political force against violence and against their government. Their actions brought about an agreement during the stalled peace talks. As a result, the women were able to achieve peace in Liberia after a 14-year civil war and later helped bring to power the country's first female head of state, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.〔
