From the Women, Peace, Humanitarian Fund:
In this podcast, women peacebuilders will share their stories, defying the odds to build inclusive and sustainable peace across the globe.
From DRC to Ukraine, from Venezuela to Libya, we hear local women peacebuilders tell their stories, the challenges they face, and how the world can better amplify their voices and support their peacebuilding efforts on the front lines.
In this first episode, you will hear a conversation between
Vimbai Kapurura, Executive Director of Women Unlimited, a local civil society organisation in Eswatini
Hajer El Sharief, Co-founder of the civil society organisation Together We Build It in Libya
Sarah Taylor, Policy Specialist, Peace & Security, Prevention & Resilience, UN Women
Sophie Giscard D’Estaing, Deputy Head of Secretariat and Officer in Charge of the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund
They talk about localisation of peacebuilding efforts and intergenerational engagement in peace processes, among other topics.
The views expressed in this podcast are those of the guests and do not reflect the views of the Women’s Peace and Humanitarian Fund or Inclusive Peace.
Women are overwhelmingly excluded from formal efforts to prevent, resolve, and rebuild from conflict, even as they are targeted for particular forms of violence in these conflicts, and as they often organize at the local and international level to bring peace.
These podcasts address some of the international policy aspects of what is known as the "women, peace and security agenda."
Necessary and important disclaimer: the views expressed here are my own, and not necessarily those of the NGOWG on WPS.
The intro and exit music for the podcasts is by the amazing Jorge Sosa!
