Nearly every month through 2021, Sanam Naraghi Anderlini MBE, founder of the International Civil Society Action Network (ICAN) and director of LSE Centre for Women, Peace and Security, hosted conversations with pioneering women peacebuilders from around the world and their allies working internationally on issues of peace and security.  

From Syria to Myanmar they shared their extraordinary experiences and perspectives of where their personal lives and activism intersected with some of the world’s most complex political and security challenges. To celebrate the series and the remarkable speakers which participated, we have produced a short compilation video with snapshots from the events.
