INVESTING IN WOMEN & PEACE: Stories of Women’s Essential Roles Shaping Peace Processes Worldwide (episode 5‪)‬ Geneva Peace Week

Episode 5 features Natalia Brandler from Venezuela and Sartu Shemsuddin from Ethiopia. They exchange on the challenges and opportunities for women’s participation in national dialogues, focusing particularly on the role and situation of women’s civil society organisations.
Almost 25 years after the adoption of UNSCR 1325, women continue to face exclusion from and marginalisation in peace processes. This five-part podcast series features reflections from women peacebuilders around the world on their experiences of women's participation in peace processes, the various challenges they encounter, and strategies they have employed to amplify their voices and influence. Discussion topics across all episodes draw on the thematic foci of the 2023 Berlin Declaration and include, inter alia, women's access to the necessary financial means to meaningfully participate, their protection, and the role of women's (solidarity) movements in enhancing their participation and influence in peace processes. Each episode involves conversations with women peacebuilders.
