Open "Through Her Lens: Women Photographers on Peace from Conflict Areas | United Nations" directly

Melissa Fleming, Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications, moderates the World Photo Day Panel with Women Photographers from Conflict Areas.

This World Photo Day, the United Nations hosted Through Her Lens: Perspectives on Peace, a panel featuring photographers Rita Kabalan (Lebanon), Mona Elfateh (Sudan), Narline Novembre (Haiti), Do Nsoseme Dora (Democratic Republic of the Congo), and Cailley Frank-Lehrer from Photoville New York, moderated by Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications Melissa Fleming.

The panel explored the power of women telling their communities’ stories with empathy, nuance, and dignity, and the incredible resilience that drives them to persist despite the risks and barriers they face in conflict-affected contexts.

This conversation is part of the broader exhibition Through Her Lens: Women Rising for Peace, which features powerful images of peacebuilders and peacekeepers advancing the Women, Peace and Security agenda captured by local women photographers from different conflict-affected areas.

Organized by the United Nations Department of Peace Operations, the United Nations Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs and UN Women.

Open "Network for Uniformed Women Peacekeepers: Connecting women, strengthening peace operations" directly

Launched in 2023, the Network for Uniformed Women Peacekeepers connects women from police, military, and justice & corrections serving in United Nations peace operations.

It promotes the creation of enabling work environments, learning, and leadership by linking women across missions, components, and nationalities, while also engaging them with experts, and amplify their voices with leaders.

The Network provides members with key information to improve their deployment experience and helps identify remaining barriers to their participation, ultimately supporting more effective peace operations.
