  • UNcomplicated: International Women’s Day
    Mar 4 2020

    Why is it so difficult to make gender equality a reality? 

    Our UNcomplicated podcast hosts, Sinduja Srinivasan and Jason DeWall, discover that one major reason is the prevalence of violence against women.

    For this show marking International Women’s Day 2020, we hear from Kalliopi Mingeiorou, a top UN official working to end violence against women, and also from a survivor of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), Maryum Saifee, who’s become a tireless campaigner against this ritualistic and global human rights abuse against women and girls.

    UNcomplicated is also available on other leading podcast distribution platforms, including Castbox, Stitcher and Soundcloud.

  • UNcomplicated: Keeping the peace
    Feb 13 2020

    New York City spends far more on its fire, police and the prison system than the entire peacekeeping budget of the United Nations.

    This is just one of the startling facts uncovered by hosts, Sinduja Srinivasan and Jason DeWall, in the latest episode of Uncomplicated.

    They talk to Ken Payumo, Chief of the peacekeeping operations support section of the United Nations Department of Safety and Security, and Nick Birnback, Chief of Strategic Communications at the Department of Peace Operations, and learn more about the challenges faced by peacekeeping staff, keeping millions safe with limited resources.

    UNcomplicated is also available on other leading podcast distribution platforms, including Castbox, Stitcher and Soundcloud.
