Jody Williams

Jody Williams is an American activist known for her tireless efforts to eliminate landmines, which are explosive devices hidden underground that can cause severe injury or death. In 1997, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her leadership in the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, a coalition that successfully pushed for international treaties to ban the use, production, and transfer of anti-personnel landmines. Her work has helped save countless lives and raised global awareness about the devastating effects of landmines on civilians, especially in war-torn regions.
