KOFF started a new podcast (only available in German). In this podcast series, you will hear stories and views of KOFF member organizations and partners on peacebuilding issues.

The first episode of the KOFF Ton-Trägers is dedicated to the 20th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. As Flurina Derungs of PeaceWomen Across the Globe says in the interview for this podcast, “the resolution was a milestone in international peace policy, as for the first time it places the needs and concerns of women at the centre of peace efforts”. But even 20 years after its adoption, the implementation of the resolution remains difficult and women are still underrepresented and not equal to men in peace processes.

KOFF’s Jonas Hinck spoke with Anat Al-Mzayyen of the Palestinian Working Women Society for Development, Flurina Derungs of PeaceWomen Across the Globe and Sarah Koch, Gender Focal Point at the Human Security Division of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs about the necessity and content of the 1325 Resolution and the problems involved in its implementation.

Further episodes will be published in the future on the KOFF soundcloud page.
