Send us a textIt's been 30 years since the Beijing Declaration on Women, a landmark agreement to empower women and girls.“The Beijing declaration was such an incredible moment to say that enough is enough. Women are half of humanity and we have to be better,” says Lata Narayanaswamy, associate professor at the School of Politics and International Studies at the University of Leeds.But now, some governments are rolling back women's rights. Humanitarian programmes that help women and girls are being cut.“During his first presidential term, Trump vetoed a new resolution proposed under the UN Women, Peace and Security agenda because it enshrined the right of women to their reproductive rights,” says Leandra Bias from the Institute of Political Science at the University of Bern. What's happening? Support for vulnerable women is being cut, and toxic masculinity is growing. The UN is worried.“I am concerned about the resurgence in some quarters of toxic ideas about masculinity and efforts to glorify gender stereotypes, especially among young men,” said UN human rights commissioner Volker Türk. This week Inside Geneva asks what toxic masculinity actually means. Is it even new?“What worries me about the language of toxic masculinity is that it's like, ‘Oh my God, we didn't know this was coming.' But it's actually just a continuity of how violence and patriarchy combine,” says Narayanaswamy. Is there a connection between toxic masculinity and the repression of women? Are both now identifiers for authoritarian regimes?“‘We are the tough guys, we are actually the proper nations, while look at Europe, they have been completely emasculated and therefore they are not a model to aspire to.' Therefore, democracy is also not a model to aspire to,” says Bias. Join host Imogen Foulkes on Inside Geneva to listen to the full episode. Get in touch!

Violence against women and girls is a persistent and escalating crisis and remains one of the most pervasive human rights violations worldwide. From femicide and domestic abuse to online harassment and conflict-related sexual violence, the scale and severity of gender-based violence continues to deepen across every region. Despite international commitments to gender equality, many legal frameworks are still insufficient, impunity persists, and survivors are too often met with stigma rather than support. In her address to the IIEA, Reem Alsalem, the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, explores global trends in the fight to end such violence, highlighting both promising practices and persistent gaps. About the Speaker: Ms. Reem Alsalem was appointed United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, its causes and consequences in July 2021 by the UN Human Rights Council. She is an independent consultant on gender issues, the rights of refugees and migrants, transitional justice, and humanitarian response. She has consulted extensively for United Nations departments, agencies, and programmes such as UN-Women, OHCHR, UNICEF, and IOM, as well as for non-governmental organisations, think tanks, and academia. Previously, she worked as an international civil servant, serving with the UNHCR in thirteen countries. During her service, she planned, implemented, and monitored programmes that served to protect persons that were survivors of gender-based violence, particularly women and girls. She was also a visiting professional with the Prosecutor's Office of the ICC from January to March 2009 and a visiting Researcher with the Feinstein International Centre of Tufts University in December 2008. She holds a Master's in International Relations from the American University in Cairo and a Masters in Human Rights Law from the University of Oxford.

Today's guest is Anne Speckhard, Director of the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism. She previously served for over two decades as Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine. She has interviewed over 800 terrorists, their family members and supporters in various parts of the world including in Western Europe, the Balkans, Central Asia, the Former Soviet Union and the Middle East, and has also been training key stakeholders in law enforcement, intelligence, educators, and other countering violent extremism professionals on the use of counter-narrative messaging materials both locally and internationally. In this episode, Alon and Anne discuss the rise in violent extremism and the causes behind it, the prospects of political violence in the US, the role of social media in promoting violent extremism and terrorism, and how violent extremist movements in the Middle East may evolve in relation to current events. Full bio Anne Speckhard, Ph.D., is Director of the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism (ICSVE) and served for over two decades as Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine and also served as an Affiliate in the Center for Security Studies, Georgetown University. She has interviewed over 800 terrorists, violent extremists, their family members and supporters around the world, including in Western Europe, the Balkans, Central Asia, the Former Soviet Union and the Middle East. Over the past five years, she has conducted in-depth psychological interviews with 275 ISIS defectors, returnees and prisoners, as well as 16 al Shabaab cadres (as well as their family members and leaders,) studying their trajectories into and out of terrorism, and their experiences inside ISIS and al Shabaab. Speckhard developed the ICSVE Breaking the ISIS Brand Counter Narrative Project from these interviews, which includes over 250 short counter narrative videos that mimic ISIS recruitment videos but contain actual terrorists strongly denouncing ISIS as un-Islamic, corrupt and brutal. These videos have been utilized in over 200 Facebook and Instagram campaigns globally. Beginning in 2020, she launched the ICSVE Escape Hate Counter Narrative Project, interviewing 54 white supremacists and members of hate groups, developing counternarratives from their interviews, and creating anti-recruitment videos. She has also conducted rare interviews with five Antifa activists. Dr. Speckhard is also an expert in rehabilitation and repatriation of terrorists and their families. In 2007, she designed the psychological and Islamic aspects of the Detainee Rehabilitation Program in Iraq to be applied to 20,000+ detainees and 800 juveniles. This work led to consulting with foreign governments on issues of terrorist prevention, interventions and repatriation; and the rehabilitation and reintegration of ISIS foreign fighters, wives and children. She has worked individually with former terrorists from Belgium, Australia, Sweden and elsewhere. She has also worked on these issues with NATO, OSCE, UN Women, UNCTED, UNODC, the EU Commission and EU Parliament, and to the US Senate & House, Departments of State, Defense, Justice, Homeland Security, Health & Human Services, and the FBI. Dr. Speckhard actively trains key stakeholders in law enforcement, intelligence, elite hostage negotiation teams, educators, and other professionals in countering violent extremism, locally and internationally. Her focus is on the psychology of terrorism, the effective use of counter-narrative messaging materials produced by ICSVE, as well as studying the use of children as violent actors by groups such as ISIS. Her consultations and trainings include U.S., Australian, Canadian, German, British, Dutch, Austrian, Swiss, Belgian, Danish, Iraqi, Syrian, Jordanian and Thai national police and security officials, among others.

Treacy O'Connor, who met Portugal's President 'Marcelo' in Ireland.The reason...Glencree (www.glencree.ie) is dedicated to transforming violent conflict and building peaceful, inclusive societies across the island of Ireland, within Northern Ireland, between Ireland and the UK, and internationally.Established in 1974 in response to the conflict in Northern Ireland, Glencree played a key role in the peace process bringing together those in conflict for confidential dialogue and building relationships across divides.Today, we work with victims and survivors in Northern Ireland; women across marginalised communities who experience political conflict/violence; migrants, refugees and members of ethnic and faith minority communities; students and young adults north and south of the border; and policymakers, politicians, diplomats and civil society leaders who work to find solutions to sustainable peace.We also continue to share learnings in conflict and post-conflict societies internationally including Haiti. https://glencree.ie/events/herstory-exhibition/ About Herstory:Peace Heroines is an uplifting and inspirational project that explores a difficult and painful era of Northern Irish history through the empowering stories of 30 ordinary women who overcame extraordinary challenges and personal sacrifices to play a pivotal role in the peace process.Peace Heroines will inspire young people with authentic role models and equip them with the skills and confidence to take an active role in co-creating lasting peace.Research shows that achieving gender equality helps to prevent conflict and when women are involved in peacebuilding, the probability that violence will end increases by 24%. Peace agreements that involve women are 35% more likely to last at least 15 years.However, a report by UN Women revealed that only 4% of participants in peace processes were women.https://www.herstory.ie/peaceheroines Comments in the chat, pics & vids to WhatsApp (00 351) 913 590 303Get more at www.goodmorningportugal.com / Support the show and join the Portugal Club at www.gmpvip.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-good-morning-portugal-podcast-with-carl-munson--2903992/support.

Send us a textHow do you keep your culture alive, when you've had to flee and create a whole new life in a country you never chose yourself? Sarah Baharaki was born in Badakhshan Province and raised in Kabul, Afghanistan. But rather suddenly, the year she graduated from high school, the situation in her country took a radical turn. In just a few days after the fall of the capital city of Kabul, Sarah, just a teenager at the time, had to flee her home country with her family and has never been able to return home since.In this conversation, Sarah walks us through being uprooted from her home country, landing in the UK, the culture shock she had to overcome, and how she balances her new culture with her home culture. When we speak of the differences in languages we also go into the topic of humor and ‘how to be funny in a foreign language'.From a world away, she watched as her friends and classmates back home became stripped of basic human rights. Driven by a deep conviction, Sarah is a huge advocate for The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 4 which advocates for Quality Education, and SDG 5 which advocates for Gender Equality. Today Sarah takes charge of the topics dear to her heart. She has carved a path out for herself and is currently a Global Youth Ambassador for Their World, and a UK Youth Delegate to the UN Women in the UK. With a focus on Afghan women, she was also the Opening Keynote speaker at ECOSOC2024 at the UN Head Quarters in New York. Episode mentions: Afghanistan is not what traditional media portrays. Yes, security risks exist, but there is more to the country than just the Taliban's unsettling presence.

I detta avsnitt pratar vi om temat för Kosmos nr 1 2025. Feminism och om kvinnors situation historiskt och i nutid. Hur obalansen som finns och har funnits mellan könen speglas i språket, relationer och hela samhällslivet. Men också om den utveckling som sker. Och hur allt detta kan belysas och förstås med hjälp av Martinus analys av det han kallar "polförvandlingen".  Vi möttes denna gång via Zoom.

As the world marks another International Women's Day, we're still asking the same question: why aren't there more women in politics? In 2024, nearly half the world's population held elections, yet we saw the slowest rate of growth in female representation in two decades. What's holding us back? In this episode of Change Makers, Edie Lush speaks to two powerhouse politicians from opposite sides of the Atlantic: U.S. Representative Chrissy Houlahan, a Democrat and the first woman to represent Pennsylvania's 6th District in Congress, and Baroness Sandip Verma, a Conservative peer in the UK House of Lords and former chair of the UN Women's national committee for UK.  From breaking barriers in male-dominated spaces to tackling issues like gender bias, childcare, and online harassment, these two leaders share their insights on what it takes for women to rise in politics - and how we can create more opportunities for the next generation. It's a conversation about leadership, resilience, and why progress for women is progress for everyone.

++ Diese Folge ist Teil des 'Women in International Law' Symposiums auf dem Völkerrechtsblog und wurde deshalb auf Englisch produziert. ++Women play diverse and complex roles in armed conflicts – whether as combatants, peacebuilders, community organizers, or as those directly impacted by war, including through gender-based violence. Yet, international law has long struggled to fully acknowledge their agency and provide meaningful protections.In this episode, Polina Kulish and Rishiti Choudaha sit down with Kateryna Demerza and Vladyslava Vorobiova from Vitsche e.V., a Berlin-based NGO that amplifies Ukrainian voices in Europe. Together, they discuss the realities of women's resistance in wartime contexts, feminist activism's role in challenging silences of international law, and the broader struggles against disinformation.Before the interview, Céline Chausse introduces the discussion by reflecting on the ‘Women in International Law' symposium and the importance of centering women's voices in conversations about conflict and justice. Sissy Katsoni then provides a legal overview, setting the stage with key facts and frameworks on how international humanitarian and human rights law seek to protect women in conflict – and where these frameworks continue to fall short.With armed conflicts around the world continuing to impact millions of women, this discussion provides a timely reflection on solidarity, activism, and the future of feminist engagement in international law.This special episode is part of the ‘Women in International Law' symposium and was therefore produced in English.Have thoughts to share?

The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, a key UN policy document adopted in 1995, has been credited for several major advances for women, from legislation outlawing domestic abuse to inspiring a new wave of young gender justice activists.But despite undeniable progress in gender relations over the past 30 years, inequalities between men and women persist and, in recent years, there has been a notable backlash against the very concepts of feminism.In this episode of The Lid Is On, Conor Lennon from UN News speaks to Laura Turquet, the deputy head of the research and data team at UN Women, and Lydia Alpizar, a Costa Rican feminist activist based in Mexico City, to find out why this renewed attack against feminism is taking place, and what it means for the decades-long fight for gender equality.Music by Joachim Harris, all rights reserved

Ahadi hiyo haikuwa maneno matupu kwenye karatasi, ilikuwa ramani ya njia na wito wa mshikamano . Na kwa miongo mitatu imechochea hatua, wasichana wengi sasa wako shule, wanawake wengi wako bungeni , kuna sheria nyingi zaidi zinawalinda wanawake dhidi ya ukatili, na mataifa mengi zaidi yanatambua usawa wa kijinsia ni lazima.”Licha ya mafanikio hayo yote Bi, Bahous amesema ndio kwanza mkoko unaalika maua kwani safari bado ni ndefu“Hebu tuwe wakweli hatujafika tunapopaswa kuwa. Haki za wanawake na wasichana zinashambuliwa, fursa za wanawake kupaza sauti zinazidi kupungua na endapo tutaendelea na kasi hii msichana aliyezaliwa leo atakuwa na umri wa miaka 39 kabla wanawake hawaja na viti vingi bungeni kama wanaume, atakuwa na umri wa miaka 68 kabla ndoa za utotoni hazijakomeshwa, na atakuwa na umri wa miaka 137 kabla umasikini uliokithiri kwa wanawake na wasicha haujatokomezwa. Hatuwezi kulikubali hili.”Mkuu huyo wa UN Women ameyahimiza mataifa yote kuchukua hatua sasa ili kuhakikisha ndoto za azimio la Beijing hazisalii kuwa ndoto bali maisha halisi.

In times of conflict and protracted crises, social protection systems are often strained, yet they remain vital in supporting the most vulnerable populations. In this episode, we examine how gender-responsive social protection can mitigate the impact of crises on women, children, and other marginalised groups. This episode examines the specific vulnerabilities of women and marginalised groups in these settings, the ways social protection programs are adapting to complex and evolving challenges, and key lessons for sustaining and expanding social protection in fragile contexts. We also explore the case of Lebanon, a country facing a multifaceted socio-economic crisis, compounded by political instability, refugee influx, and conflict. This marks the first episode of our new three-part series on "Social Protection in Conflict and Protracted Crisis", produced by socialprotection.org in partnership with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, FCDO, which has funded the series and provided invaluable support in shaping the episodes and connecting us with guests.

Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?"When you accept yourself the way you are, the world recognizes you." - Muniba MazariFrom adopting her son Niall to becoming Pakistan's first wheelchair-bound TV host and model, Muniba Mazari's journey is a testament to the power of reframing life's challenges. When her four-year-old son asked her to kick a soccer ball, a moment that could have been devastating became a profound lesson in focusing on possibilities rather than limitations. Through her son's simple wisdom of suggesting catch ball instead, Muniba learned to see her glass as half full, embracing what she could do rather than dwelling on what she couldn't.As Pakistan's first Goodwill Ambassador to UN Women and a globally exhibited artist, Muniba has transformed her personal journey into a platform for change. Her story extends beyond professional achievements to deep insights about overcoming the fear of abandonment and finding self-acceptance. Featured in BBC's Top 100 Women and Forbes 30 under 30, she's dedicated herself to changing narratives in mainstream media, showing that being "perfectly imperfect" is perfectly alright. Her path as a wheelchair-bound pioneer in television and modeling has created a roadmap for future generations, turning personal challenges into stepping stones for others to follow.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!

The father and stepmother of 10-year-old Sara Sharif have been found guilty of her murder after subjecting her to "horrific suffering" for more than two years. Sara Sharif was described by her headteacher as a much loved pupil, a cheerful little soul who would sing to anyone who would listen. But the authorities failed to realise that she was being tortured by her father, Urfan Sharif, and suffered what the court heard was a daily living hell. Anita Rani talks to Dame Rachel de Souza, the Children's Commissioner for England and Wales, and Aisha Gill, Professor of Criminology at Bristol University, about why 15 opportunities to save Sara were missed.IVF is one of the great medical breakthroughs of the 20th century. Thanks to its invention, over 390,000 babies have been born in the UK since 1991. 70,000 of which used donor eggs, sperm, or embryos. Elaine Lee was one of the first women in the UK to donate her eggs. She tells Anita about the process then, and what it was like to be one of the first women to donate back in 1987.This morning it was announced that Baroness Sue Campbell will join England Netball as Chair of their Board. Previously she was credited with taking women's football from niche to mainstream. During her seven years as director of women's football at the Football Association, the number of women and girls playing football doubled, the number of people watching the game quadrupled and there has also been a significant increase in the number of women and girls taking up coaching and refereeing. Baroness Sue Campbell joins Anita to discuss her new role along with Fran Connolly, England Netball CEO. How do you tackle the stigma and violence faced globally by women with disabilities? Anita talks to Katrina Scior, Professor of Clinical Psychology and Stigma Studies at University College London, who this week is launching a self-reporting survey tool to help prevent discrimination. The project is led by UN Women and the UN Development programme in four places: Moldova, Pakistan, Gaza and West Bank and Samoa.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Rebecca Myatt

The incoming Trump administration won't just devastate sexual and reproductive health in the United States—the harm will absolutely ripple abroad. Rachel Clement, Senior Director of Government Strategy at PAI, sits down to talk with us about the prospect of global human rights under the incoming administration and potential harmful policy to come.Already, less than 1% of the U.S. budget goes to foreign assistance. And, under the Trump administration, it's incredibly likely that UNFPA will be defunded, in tandem with cutting funding in other UN spaces like the WHO, UNESCO, and UN Women. During the last Trump administration, the Geneva Consensus Declaration was created to undermine the United Nations and multilateralism in general, while the Commission on Unalienable Rights, out of the State Department, sought to re-define human rights; these tools and others like them might reemerge. In all, attacks to gender and sexual and reproductive health and rights around the world will be enormous, especially with the probable reintroduction of the expanded Global Gag Rule. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

She was invited to speak for 3 minutes. Her 3 minutes were measured, rehearsed, screened, and approved. Inch by inch the organisers ate into her 3 minutes. It started with the content, and then they asked her to shorted the duration. When Selin decided to take her 3 minutes as promised and stand her ground, her mike was turned off. Shortly after this she was interviewed, and her candid interview went viral. While young people are invited to have a seat at the table, it is often to serve a visual.
