As increasingly complex and extended conflicts plague our world in the midst of a pandemic, reporting on women, peace and security is affected by the scope of coverage, by a lack of women journalists in conflict zones and by diminished or nonexistent capacity of local media, particularly in extended conflicts or post-conflict environments. UN Women is hosting a virtual panel discussion featuring leading women reporters and/or editors who bring a gender lens to their work and, who also encounter gendered hurdles in covering war and other conflicts, and who play a crucial role in enlightening the public on these issues.

Journalism festival in Sao Paulo. This year’s theme is “Journalism under Repression”

CVHF DIRECTORS’ LECTURE

Award-winning journalist Rania Abouzeid will present reportage of unprecedented scope. From the first rumblings of dissent in 2011, she will show the unravelling of a nation: peaceful protests collapsing into violence, families shattered, and religious conviction sharpened by rage to a radical point. She will reveal how Syrians found new ways to resist as the cruelty of the dictatorial regime – and the rising threat of Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State – tore their homeland apart.

Ahmed Rashid, Suzy Hansen, and Rania Abouzeid

moderated by Isambard Wilkinson

Moderated by BBC Pakistan Correspondent Secunder Kerman 

In No Turning Back: Life, Loss, and Hope in Wartime Syria, prize-winning journalist Rania Abouzeid tells the tragedy of the Syrian War through the dramatic stories of four young people seeking safety and freedom in a shattered country. In The Land Between Two Rivers Tom Sleighexamines the urgency of our global refugee crisis and our capacity as artists and citizens to confront it. The Fox Hunt: A Refugee’s Memoir of Coming to America is Mohammed Al Samawi’s moving story of war, friendship, and hope in which he recounts his harrowing escape from a brutal civil war in Yemen with the help of a daring plan engineered on social media by a small group of interfaith activists in the West.

Syria has witnessed unimaginable atrocities, with thousands killed and millions more displaced. With multiple parties involved in the conflict, is it possible for a peaceful resolution to be achieved? BBC’s Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet, Chatham House’s Head of Middle East and North Africa Programme Lina Khatib, journalist Rania Abouzeid (No Turning Back) and other leading experts examine the dynamics of the war, explore its cultural, social and political costs, and consider its regional and international implications with Channel 4’s International Editor Lindsey Hilsum (In Extremis).
