For this episode in the Pathways to Peace series, the focus is on the particular impact of violence and insecurity on women and girls.
My guest is Reem Alsalem who, for 17 years until 2016, worked with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and then became an independent consultant in humanitarian action and refugee protection. She is now the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences.
