Explore Belfast’s history by delving into life during The Troubles, a time when conflict, fear, and resilience were part of daily life. This journey is led by two local women — one from a Republican background and the other from a Loyalist community. As you walk along the Falls and Shankill Roads, you’ll see how murals, streets, and memories illustrate the impact of identity, division, and community on their childhoods. They share personal stories of loss, strength, daily life under threat, and the courage needed to keep families and neighborhoods united. Despite being divided by politics and barriers, their experiences highlight a shared resolve to protect loved ones and aspire for a brighter future. You’ll also discover how women from both sides supported dialogue, contributed to the peace process, and continue to work towards reconciliation today. This is more than just a sightseeing tour; it’s a reflective, human encounter with lived history — an opportunity to hear genuine voices and understand Belfast through the eyes of its women.
