Winning without Fighting

One Olympic Victory by Ronan Farrow and Mia Farrow, describes one victory in Mia Farrow’s fight to save the citizens of Darfur from what was unanimously condemned as early as 2004 by the U.S. Congress as genocide.  One Olympic Victory is the result of one voice becoming many and causing one party to a crisis to reconsider its options.  Whether through demonstration, mediation, or diplomacy, this is winning without fighting. 

(Mia Farrow has been a high profile advocate for children’s rights, working to raise funds and awareness for children in conflict affected regions, predominantly Africa. She is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and has worked extensively to draw attention to the fight to eradicate polio, which she survived as a child. Her latest humanitarian effort raises awareness of the genocide occurring in Darfur, Chad and Central African Republic.  Today’s conditions in Darfur are revealed in a Joint Statement on Darfur by members of the UN Country Team in Sudan, and at MiaFarrow.org.)
