Christiane Amanpour honoured for her media stories dedicated to Peace

Christiane Amanpour was honoured by Daughters for Life at a gala dinner held at The Carlu in Toronto. She took the opportunity to give the message of peace and to see others as human and not "the Other".

Christiane knows first hand about politics and the power it holds over behavior. She is Iranian and was educated in Britain, during her youth.  This early experience of different cultures, and not quite fitting into the community, gives her a deep insight into belonging and how politicians can warp their people's minds.

Christiane has an admirable career and here are a few reminders of her assignments around the world to the hot spots of the world:

During her early years as a correspondent, Amanpour was given her first major assignment covering the Iran–Iraq War, which led to her being transferred in 1986 to Eastern Europe to report on the fall of European communism.

1990:

Following Iraq's occupation of Kuwait in 1990, Amanpour's reports of the Persian Gulf War brought her wide notice while also taking CNN to a new level of news coverage.

1992:

On 22 December 1992, during the Bosnian War, Amanpour was reporting from Kiseljak, not far from Sarajevo.e Amanpour, CNN Global Head of Media,
