Last September, Mahsa-Jina Amini, a twenty-two-year-old woman from the Kurdish region of Iran, died while in the custody of Iran's notorious "morality police." During the funeral in her hometown of Saghez, which was to become the epicenter of the nationwide protests in Iran, women took off their headscarves, chanting ‘Women Life Freedom', a slogan which became an iconic chant both within Iran and beyond. Images of young women protesters openly taking off their headscarves and burning them sent the unmistakable message to the ruling clerics that they could no longer impose their draconian and nonsensical laws on women and girls in Iran. Throughout the country, in the schools, universities, and streets young people became the leaders of protests calling for an end to the oxymoronic "Islamic republic.“ But, as predicted, the brutality employed by the regime's security apparatus to suppress the protests at any cost took on epic proportions. Over 500 protesters have reportedly been killed so far, including 70 children. In addition, to this day four protesters have been executed by the state, with many more also facing the death sentence. Hundreds of protesters were also blinded by Metal Pellets and Rubber Bullets. Furthermore, over the past six months, human rights organizations have documented the pervasive use of torture and abuse of detained protestors. A newly released report by Amnesty International, for example, reveals that the Iranian authorities have, among other torture methods, used sexual violence against imprisoned children. Amnesty International's Deputy Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa, Diana Eltahawy, has said that "Iran's violence against children exposes a deliberate strategy to crush the vibrant spirit of the country's youth and stop them from demanding freedom and human rights.” Professor Shahrzad Mojab, who is our guest today, says that much of the push for the current protests has come from young people, who are more aware than previous generations of women's issues thanks to social media. "They have their own powerful reason for wanting a change of regime: a desire for a better future." Professor Shahrzad Mojab is a scholar, teacher, and activist, and she's internationally known for her work on the impacts of war, displacement, and violence upon women's learning and education. Malihe Razazan spoke with her about the protest movement, the islamization of the education system as well as the role of young women in the protests, and started by asking her to talk about the genesis of the slogan "Women Life Freedom," and how it encapsulates the spirit and objectives of the protests in Iran.

Despite their positive roles in inclusive economic development, business associations in Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus have a limited capacity to advance economic systems that serve all citizens, including vulnerable groups such as women and young people with limited participation in the economy. The common challenge includes large, well-connected firms that have been able to establish themselves and communicate their interests to local governments through nurtured channels and ties. Besides, the small and medium enterprises are still underrepresented in policy dialogue and unable to advocate for their priorities and rights before the government. This is also worsened by the lack of constructive engagement between the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and local governments on their needs. So, in this episode, we have interviewed Aleksandr Chumak, President of the Association of Private Employers in Ukraine; Eric Hontz, Deputy Regional Director for Europe and Eurasia at the Center for International Private Enterprise, our partner at RECONOMY; Veronica Cazacu, our Regional Manager for the region of Eastern Europe at RECONOMY; and Bernd Steimann, Development Policy Coordinator at Helvetas, where he supports and advises various projects and local partner organisations around the world, including Eastern Europe, in advocacy and policy dialogue with decision-makers in politics, business and civil society. For the episode's intermission, we have invited a special guest from the RisiAlbania Project of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, project manager Edlira Muedini, to speak about what they do in advocacy. Please send us your feedback about the episode in the comment section below. We have interesting topics coming up, so stay tuned!

Situated in north-west Africa, what is known as the Lake Chad region – Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon, Chad – has been ripped apart by conflict. Civilians are regular subject to direct and/or indiscriminate attacks, including bombings in populated areas, as well as sexual violence, forced recruitment, and abductions. Over 2.4 million people have been forced to flee their homes, while millions more are in need of food, water, shelter and access to health care. We are joined by Patrick Youssef, ICRC’s Deputy Regional Director of Africa and discuss the region’s chronic fragility and the impact on communities after a decade of violence. In addition, we chat about the shortage of health care workers (1.3% of the world's total) on a continent that experiences 25% of the global disease burden. Patrick first joined the ICRC in 2005 and has worked in contexts as varied as Chad, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay. He was the deputy head of operations for the Near and Middle East covering Yemen, Iran and the Gulf Cooperation Council. In his current role, he manages ICRC operations in the Maghreb, the Sahel region, the Lake Chad Basin, and West Africa. Hosted by Niki Clark.

In this episode of podcast At the End of the Day, we talk about Census 2020 and why this matters. In this conversation with Ian Hull, the Deputy Regional Director at New York Regional Census Center, U.S. Census Bureau, Ian underlines the significance of participating in Census 2020. As for the recently arriving immigrant individuals in the U.S., your participation in the census will help gain information on the changing dynamics of the immigrant communities in the country, which plays a role in determining if there are specific needs to be addressed for a particular emerging immigrant community. A simple example would be, identifying the need for additional language service. Counting yourself in the census is an opportunity to see yourself, and your immigrant community reflected on the U.S. map.Listen to the podcast on the Anchor app, on iTunes, and on Spotify.

Pakistan’s media has of late made news for all the wrong reasons: from state censorship to journalists being laid off in large numbers. Despite a growth in the number of media establishments in the last several years, the state has found new ways to silence independent journalism and manage public perception. In this episode of Himal Interviews, we talk to Omar Waraich, who reported from Pakistan for TIME magazine and the Independent daily for nearly a decade, and is currently Amnesty International’s Deputy Regional Director for South Asia. In this conversation with our editor Aunohita Mojumdar, Waraich talks about the transformation of Pakistani journalism, the military’s encroachment in traditional and social media, and the wrong lessons the Pakistani establishment learnt from Indian journalism.

This Friedman Seminar features Daniel Maxwell, professor, Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and acting director, Feinstein International Center, presenting “The 2011 Famine in Somalia: Beyond a Food Security Crisis." Abstract This presentation will be based on Professor Maxwell’s retrospective research on the 2011 famine in South Central Somalia, that resulted in the recent book, Famine in Somalia: Competing Imperatives, Collective Failures (Oxford University Press, 2016). The presentation will trace the causes and consequences of the food security, malnutrition and mortality crisis, but then address the complicating factors that made this such a deadly crisis. Some 258,000 people lost their lives in the famine, and hundreds of thousands more were displaced or had their livelihoods severely disrupted. These complications include the history and political economy of three-plus decades of continuous humanitarian assistance in Southern Somalia, the rule of Al Shabaab and the war between Al Shabaab and the fledgling Somali Transitional Federal Government, its Africa Union partners, and expeditionary forces from Kenya and Ethiopia, donor counter terrorism policies that put a significant constraint on external humanitarian assistance, the engagement of non-western humanitarian actors, the role of the diaspora and urban-based lineage and kin groups in responding to the crisis, and the way in which internal social dynamics shaped both the crisis itself and brutal abuses that people faced when displaced. Bio Daniel Maxwell is a Professor and the Acting Director of the Feinstein International Center at Tufts’ Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy. He leads the research program on food security and livelihoods in complex emergencies. He served as the Chair of the Department of Food and Nutrition Policy at the Friedman School from 2008 to 2011.

He recently published Famine in Somalia: Competing Imperatives, Collective Failures (Oxford University Press, 2016) with Nisar Majid. He is the co-author, with Chris Barrett of Cornell University, of Food Aid After Fifty Years: Recasting Its Role (Routledge, 2005), and co-author with Peter Walker, of Shaping the Humanitarian World (Routledge, 2009). Prior to academia, Dan spent twenty years in leadership positions with international NGOs and research institutes. He was Deputy Regional Director for CARE International in Eastern and Central Africa, Rockefeller Post-Doctoral Fellow the International Food Policy Research Institute, and worked for Mennonite Central Committee for ten years in Tanzania and Uganda.

Abstract: The World Humanitarian Summit (WHS) will be held in Istanbul May 22 – 24, 2016. Hailed as a “once in a generation” opportunity, the WHS must come to grips with the massive challenges facing humanitarian action globally, and chart a new course of action in the face of unprecedented demands on a system that is increasingly outdated, under-funded and overwhelmed by events. At the same time, it has become increasingly clear that there is not a single humanitarian “system,” but actually multiple systems, often operating side by side. Demands from the global south call for a more open and inclusive humanitarian system, with more emphasis on localizing response. Donors call for greater accountability and value for money. Critics call for better learning and use of evidence. And of course, everyone calls for more money and more dependable funding streams. A global consultative process has helped to set the agenda of WHS, but many donors, governments, agencies, and think tanks have also weighed in separately with their own recommendations. The Feinstein International Center of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy has been jointly leading a study titled “Planning from the Future” which has conducted a thorough review of the burgeoning academic and grey literature on humanitarian action, and case studies in multiple humanitarian emergencies to assess the current challenges and capacities of many different humanitarian actors, in an attempt to background analysis and evidence for many of the questions facing the WHS. Professor Maxwell will briefly address the question of what the WHS is, what’s on the agenda, what’s not, and what is behind some of the recommendations on the table? He will also present the findings of the “Planning from the Future” and the short-term and longer-term recommendations growing out of that study, which go well beyond the agenda of the WHS, and speak to the evidence shaping the agenda and outcomes of the WHS. Finally, he will address the relevance of the WHS to a broader nutrition agenda. Bio: Daniel Maxwell is a Professor of Humanitarian Studies at Tufts University, and research director at the Feinstein International Center at Tufts. He leads the research program in food security and livelihoods in complex emergencies and teaches courses in food security and humanitarian action.

Most of his recent work has been in East Africa and the Greater Horn of Africa. His most recent book, Famine in Somalia: Competing Imperatives, Collectives Failures, co-authored with Nisar Majid, has just been published (Oxford University Press, 2016). He also is the co-author, with Chris Barrett of Cornell University, of Food Aid After Fifty Years: Recasting Its Role (2005), which had far-ranging impacts on food aid practice and policy; and co-author with Peter Walker of , Shaping the Humanitarian World (2009).
