Debra L. Gish
Debra L. Gish, born in 1954, in Washington, D.C., is a pioneering, international, development practitioner engaged in multiple disciplines with the United Nations (UN): women’s, girl’s, elders’, and indigenous rights; transformative justice; disaster relief; education; health; child labor; gender-based violence; and human trafficking. She also serves as a UN peace mediator and negotiator in post-war countries.
Recognizing the glaring ignorance of women’s roles worldwide, Debra L. Gish has dedicated her life to promoting women’s worth. Now a bona fide crone herself, she seeks to empower female elders who often become ‘invisible’ after raising families, retiring, or live alone without a partner due to divorce, death, sexuality, poverty, abandonment, or illness.
Debra L. Gish earned BA and MA degrees. As an author, she published her first, acclaimed memoir, Displaced: A Perilous True Story of an Expatriate Working to Right Wrongs from the Past. Her poetry appears in Best American Poets (in 2015, 2016, and 2019). She is the managing editor and author of Crone Chronicles 20-20: Intimately Inspiring Glimpses into the Lives of Wise Women 52+ (published in 2020).
