To help us understand the countless ways women are affected, Guests come from a range of backgrounds. They include former combatants, prisoners, U. N. representatives, local leaders, mothers, teachers, survivors, and others. But they all share a commitment to using their experiences and expertise to advocate for women today.

    Episode 5: Different Avenues for Activism

    In this episode, we focus on the diverse avenues for activism and the significance of South-South partnerships. We bring together two inspiring leaders from the Caribbean, who, despite having different approaches to activism, share a deep dedication to the region and a commitment to driving meaningful change.   Isabelle Clérié focuses on community-based work in Haiti, emphasizing that true development must come from within the country. She believes that aid and development efforts will only succeed if they are rooted in local ownership and driven by the needs and leadership of the Haitian people.   Gaynel Curry, an ICSC Board member, has dedicated her career to raising the profile of the Caribbean in international forums, particularly through her work with the United Nations. Her advocacy highlights the importance of global attention and support for the region, especially for the Bahamas.   Together, Isabelle and Gaynel discuss how their distinct approaches—grassroots activism in Haiti and international advocacy—complement each other in creating sustainable change and how South-South partnerships can strengthen efforts across borders.   The Difference She Makes is a production of the Global Initiative for Justice, Truth, and Reconciliation, which is a flagship program of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience.

    Episode 4: Sharing Women’s Stories

    Women’s voices, particularly in marginalized communities, are often overlooked in post-conflict and transitional justice processes, despite the diverse and critical roles they play during periods of conflict and authoritarian rule. Their contributions as leaders, caregivers, and survivors are pivotal, yet their experiences are too often excluded from conversations about justice and memory. Through activism, women around the world are breaking these silences, ensuring their stories are recognized and shaping the pursuit of justice through advocacy, storytelling, and direct participation.   To discuss these efforts, we are joined by two inspiring guests: Barsha Kairey, project program coordinator for Social Action for Voluntary Efforts, a civil society organization in Bangladesh supporting women’s empowerment and advocacy.   Pooja Pant, founder and director of Voices of Women Media, a Site of Conscience in Nepal that equips marginalized women with innovative media tools to share their stories and strengthen their impact.   The Difference She Makes is a production of the Global Initiative for Justice, Truth, and Reconciliation, which is a flagship program of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience.

    Episode 3: Militarization and Authoritarianism

    In recent years, democratic values have eroded globally, with increasing militarization and authoritarianism disproportionately affecting women. These trends correlate with restricted reproductive rights, limited access to education and careers, and reduced political representation, as oppressive regimes prioritize control over inclusion and justice.   To explore these challenges, we are joined by two distinguished guests:   Shirley Gunn, founder and director of the Human Rights Media Centre in South Africa, who amplifies the voices of survivors of state violence during and after apartheid.   Fatna El Bouih, Moroccan activist and writer, whose experiences as a political prisoner drive her fight for justice, dignity, and women’s empowerment.   The Difference She Makes is a production of the Global Initiative for Justice, Truth, and Reconciliation, which is a flagship program of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience.

    Episode 2: Sexual and Gender Based Violence

    In 2023, conflicted-related sexual violence (CRSV) increased by over 50 percent since the previous reporting period. The widespread and intrusive nature of these crimes means that victims' needs are diverse and subject to change over time. Often, a fear of stigma poses significant challenges in preventing survivors from coming forward, reporting what happened to them, and seeking justice or other needed services.  And even when formal transitional justice or accountability processes are established, they can often take decades to come to fruition. Nevertheless, GIJTR has seen that a majority of positive change in relation to CRSV has been driven by the tireless efforts of survivors and the communities of support that surround them, particularly in contexts where the state has been complicit in the crimes or is otherwise unable to adequately respond.   To discuss this complex issue we are joined by two expert guests:   Mariama Jobarteh, CEO and founder of Ventanka in The Gambia, which works to challenge gender inequalities and combat violence against women and girls, as well as support victims through their healing processes.   Rosario Jolon, from the Centro para la Derechos Humanos, or CALDH, in Guatemala, which offers legal, political, and organizational support to strengthen historical memory in the country and specifically fight for women's emancipation from violence.   The Difference She Makes is a production of the Global Initiative for Justice, Truth, and Reconciliation, which is a flagship program of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience.

    Episode 1: The Economic and Emotional Effect of Conflict on Women

    Welcome to The Difference She Makes, a new podcast by the Global Initiative for Justice, Truth, and Reconciliation that explores the ways in which women are uniquely affected by injustice and conflict through the lens of women activists themselves.   Beyond the financial impact, the emotional scars of conflict are deep and long lasting. Women, whether they are survivors of war, displacement, incarceration, or systemic oppression, carry the burden of trauma, grief, and loss, not only for themselves, but often for their families and communities as well. Despite their resilience, women's experiences are often overlooked or sidelined in post conflict recovery and transitional justice processes.   To help us understand the complex needs of women in and after conflict we are joined by  two activists who support women in these difficult situations.    Lauren Beattie is a climate and social justice activist and the program manager for the non profit Insight Garden Program at Central California Women's Facility, which helps transform the lives of incarcerated people through a connection to nature.   Radhika Hettiarachchi is an independent researcher, curator, and peace building practitioner with over 15 years of experience working primarily in Sri Lanka. She uses oral history, facilitated dialogue, and the arts for channels for creating a public discourse on conflict, transitional justice, and non recurrence of violence.   The Difference She Makes is a production of the Global Initiative for Justice, Truth, and Reconciliation, which is a flagship program of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience.
