She was the first woman to be elected as vice-president of the Democratic Rally party (2003–2007) and the first Secretary of the Women's Organization of her party. She has been a member of the Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group [1] which is thought to have helped to start the peace movement in Cyprus. She is known for her decades of work on the rights of women and girls in Cyprus[3][4] and for her inter-community and reconciliation work on the divided island. She is a barrister-at-law and a citizen peace-builder. In 2016 she became a JAMS Weinstein Senior Fellow in recognition of her contribution to the field of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), having participated in conflict resolution workshops, organized by the Fulbright Commission, for Greek and Turkish Cypriots working for the reconciliation and reunification of the island.[5] She is married to Costas Shammas, an accountant and peace activist.[6]
