DUFOUR Martine
I had a childhood marked by war, by the resistance in which my father participated, and the vision of rows of those deported to Compiègne, where I lived. With my husband, my life has been busy : many moves, including a five-year hiatus in the Upper Volta (Burkina Faso), various activities and engagements as I have a strong sentiment for the global perspective !
Be it in terms of Nurse, Mother, Grandmother, Activist, Elected Environmental Representative for six years in my city, non-violence has been, since 1968, a string of gold that I try to weave into my daily life, into my relationships with others, into education, health, economy…
I have been a member of The Movement for a Non-Violent Alternative (MAN) since 1975. We discovered, the other members of MAN and I, Kosovo and its inhabitants January 1, 1993 – its inhabitants, including the Albanians who used non-violent methods to oppose the apartheid of the Serbs in power. Since that time, we have continued to weave new links via regular missions, not only in Kosovo but also with the Balkan Democrats. Soon after the War of 1999, a few members of MAN created the association « Peace Teams in the Balkans » (of which I am a member) which was present in Mitrovica.
