INVESTING IN WOMEN & PEACE: Stories of Women’s Essential Roles Shaping Peace Processes Worldwide (episode 1)

Episode 1 features Thania Paffenholz, Executive Director of Inclusive Peace, and sets the stage for the series, describing the changing nature of formal peace processes as well as recent trends in women's participation therein.

Almost 25 years after the adoption of UNSCR 1325, women continue to face exclusion from and marginalisation in peace processes. This four-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 embraced to amplify their voice 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.
