Ep.170 : Half A Decade of Dialogue: Looking Back with Dina Zaman

What started as a makeshift project during a global lockdown has transformed into an international platform reaching audiences in over a hundred countries. To celebrate the 5th anniversary of She Talks Peace, host Amina Rasul-Bernardo welcomes back a very familiar voice: the podcast's original co-host, Dina Zaman.​Dina, a renowned Malaysian writer, researcher, co-founder of Iman Research, and author of Malayland, returns as a special guest to unpack half a decade of global changes. From their scrappy beginnings navigating static and unscripted moments, Amina and Dina trace the incredible progress of the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) framework across Southeast Asia. ​However, the conversation doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of the present. The two experts tackle the frustration of watching global conflicts expand, the dangerous psychological impact of social media disinformation on young people, and the vital importance of moving beyond "think tank silos" to embrace creative, community-led peacebuilding.​Whether they are discussing high-level parliamentary summits, grassroots youth networks, or their own unique stress-relief habits, Amina and Dina prove that the conversation around peace is more urgent, and necessary, than ever.🎧 Tune in to She Talks Peace for real stories of peacebuilders, changemakers, and everyday heroes across Asia and beyond.For more updates, follow She Talks Peace on these platforms: Facebook, X, Instagram, and YouTubeDisclaimer: This podcast was produced with the financial support of the European Union.
