As 2021 comes to an end, I want to take a moment to thank you for all your support and solidarity. This year has once again been a challenging one in our struggle for peace, justice and the rule of law. As the world continues to grapple with Covid-19 and other crises, we have seen inequalities widen, social justice undermined and hard-won rights scaled back. This is why I am so grateful for the efforts of the many grassroots activists who are working tirelessly to unearth injustices and show us how democracy should be done. They give us hope, even in the midst of crisis.

As we come close to the end of 2020, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your hard work over the past year and for your commitment to global human rights and social justice. 2020 has been an unusually challenging year for all of us whereby we had to face and adapt to the new reality imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has shown us that such crises do not only affect everyone’s health and security, but also pose a direct risk of increased social injustice and inequality on a global scale; disproportionally subjecting vulnerable and marginalised groups to abuse.

Impunity Watch and the Master programme in Transitional Justice of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights present this podcast on militarised masculinities and its impact on peace. The topic of militarised masculinities, which refers to an idea of a certain “maleness” that is violent, has received little attention although it is central to elites’ strategies to stay in power. This podcast, hosted by Thomas Unger, provides space for an in-depth debate around this neglected topic with leading expert Brandon Hamber from Northern Ireland and human rights activist Brisna Caxaj from Guatemala.
