In this EWNET podcast episode 7, Samiha Abdulmelik, a peacebuilding and gender practitioner with over 20 years of experience speaks to Dalaya Ashenafi. Samiha shares how her childhood, inspired by her father’s feminism and early exposure to global crises, led her to work in conflict zones like Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria, and Iraq. She reflects on the 25-year evolution of the Women, Peace and Security agenda from focusing on participation to addressing financing, institutional change, and deep-seated patriarchy. She discusses practical strategies for engaging male-dominated security sectors, the importance of localizing action plans, and taking sectoral approaches to change. Samiha finds inspiration in Sudanese women-led emergency rooms and everyday grassroots women. በዚህ ፖድካስት ክፍል 7፣ሳሚሃ አብዱልመሊክ ከዳላያ አሸናፊ ጋር ቆይታ አድርጋለች ሳሚሃ ከ20 ዓመታት በላይ የሥራ ልምድ ያላት የሰላም ግንባታ እና የሥርዓተፆታ ባለሙያ ስትሆን በ25 ዓመታት ውስጥ የሴቶች፣ ሰላም እና ደህንነት አጀንዳ ከተሳትፎ ትኩረት ወደ ፋይናንስ፣ ተቋማዊ ለውጥ እና ጥልቅ የሆነ የወንዶች በላይነት ሥርዓት የመታገል አቅጣጫ እንደተለወጠ ታጋራናለች። Find out more about EWNET here: https://riftvalley.net/projects/horn-...
