5 years since the Taliban takeover in August 2021, the story of Afghanistan’s young women is more than one of loss. It is also one of courage, resilience, and the spark of resistance 🕊️

In our new blog, "Five Years, Five Voices, Five Futures", we share the stories of ten young Afghan women. Five are still inside the country, where classrooms, workplaces, and sports clubs have closed to them. Five have crossed borders to pursue scholarships in Germany, Italy, Indonesia, and beyond.

Their experiences show the real human cost of these restrictions, and the determination of young people who keep building pathways to learning.

👉 Read the stories and find out how you can support women in Afghanistan: https://unoy.org/five-years-five-voices-five-futures/

By working together to keep these pathways open, we ensure that those still waiting behind the closed gates have a chance to rewrite their own futures.

❓What keeps peacebuilders going under pressure? Season 10 of the Peace Corner Podcast explores how peacebuilders navigate their work under increasing tensions.

Over 9 conversations, inspiring peacebuilders from around the world shared how they adapt and resist amid dwindling funding, shrinking civic space, geopolitical tensions, and increasing securitisation. 🕊️☮️

From queering and decolonising peace work, to sustaining peace despite rising militarisation, our guests shared the many ways peacebuilders are adapting and resisting.

They also opened up conversations about peacebuilders’ wellbeing and the role of networks, showing how hope is sustained in increasingly polarised and challenging contexts.

After a few months of transition, UNOY has a new chapter in its leadership!

Our former Co-Director (Strategy) Giacomo has said goodbye to the network after seven years of dedicated service to young peacebuilders across the globe. Through challenging times, when peacebuilding work is underfunded and civic space is shrinking, Giacomo led the organisation with integrity, positivity, compassion, determination, humility and reassurance. 🕊 Giacomo, you will be missed by all of us at UNOY. The team will also miss your adorable cat, who occasionally crashed our Zoom meetings (when we were lucky!) 🫶🐈

We are thrilled to share that Laura has joined the team as Co-Director (Strategy)! Laura has been part of the network for four years, most recently as our Regional Coordinator for Europe, where she coordinated our European members and supported advocacy efforts to mainstream Youth, Peace and Security alongside UNOY member organisations. She now moves from working directly with members to providing strategic oversight, and we can't wait to see what she'll do in her new role!

Join us in thanking Giacomo and welcoming Laura! 💜

In the final episode of Season 10 of Peace Under Pressure, Sofia Biscuola, Co-Director of UNOY, and Peter van Sluijs, Coordinator of CSPPS, join Antonia Rincón Anderson to explore what peacebuilding networks bring to the sector, from connecting organisations and sharing knowledge to supporting members and building collective advocacy.

The conversation looks at how networks are adapting to a changing peacebuilding landscape, what advocacy looks like in practice, and how global networks can respond to the growing emphasis on regional and locally led peacebuilding.

What happens when the religion we practice carries the weight of colonial violence, cutting through our ties to each other, to the land, and to our responsibility for one another? 🫂

In this episode, Eline, a theology student, pastor-to-be, and community organiser for Christian spaces in the Netherlands, reflects on what it means to practice peacebuilding close to home, rather than somewhere else. She speaks to a shift many young peacebuilders recognise, from once imagining the work as something done abroad, to realising it belongs with her own people, in the Netherlands. 🌱

Drawing on her own reading of sacred texts as radical, activist works, Eline unpacks the difference between theology, what needs to change, and spirituality, what religion still has to offer. She reflects on what it looks like, on a daily basis, to hold a decolonial lens inside a tradition that hasn't caught up yet.
