In Theater aan het Spui, Den Haag, werd op 15 december 2018 ‘De Nacht van het Conflict’ georganiseerd door Humanity House en Clingendael. Een manifestatie met veel debatten, lezingen en interviews over oorlog, vrede en internationale veiligheid. Nederland maakte in 2018 deel uit van de VN-Veiligheidsraad, en op deze avond werd gekeken hoe we het ervan afgebracht hebben. Op TXTradio kun je er drie terugluisteren. In deze podcast hoor je alleen een panelgesprek met drie journalisten: Pieter Waterdrinker, Eelco Bosch van Rosenthal en Michel Kerres onder leiding van Harm Ede Botje. Het onderwerp was de terugkeer –of de vermeende terugkeer- van de Koude Oorlog. In ieder geval binnen de VN-Veiligheidsraad.
Hoe maak je portretten van slachtoffertjes van seksuele uitbuiting, zonder dat zij herkenbaar in beeld komen?

Ze vertelt over het resultaat dat nu te zien is in de expositie 'This is Me' in het Humanity House in Den Haag

Met Peter van der Vliet, Niels Roelen en Koffi Afande. O.l.v. Sophie Derkzen.
People Power Podcast - Over de kracht van mensen in organisaties
In Leading People Power met Harry Starren gaan we in gesprek met mensen die koers bepalen. We spreken met hen over de volgende vragen: Wat staat ons te wachten? Is er al iets aan het gebeuren? Wat drijft hen? Waarom doen ze wat ze doen? Valt er nou wat van hen te leren? Het is een zoektocht naar mensen die voorop lopen. Vandaag zijn Saskia Stolz, Creative Director van Power of Art House en Lisette Mattaar, directeur van Humanity House te gast.

Explosieve wapens veroorzaken wereldwijd veel meer slachtoffers onder burgers dan onder de vijand waarvoor ze zijn bedoeld. Toch worden burgerslachtoffers nog altijd aangeduid als “collateral damage”. Fotograaf Dirk-Jan Visser portretteerde dit zogenaamde “nevenefect” in het door burgeroorlog verscheurde Oost-Oekraine. Verslaggever Edwin Koopman sprak hem op de tentoonstelling van zijn werk in het Humanity House in Den Haag. (foto: Dirk-Jan Visser Dirk-Jan Visser for UNOCHA and PAX)
