Peacebuilding and How Capitalism & Imperialism Undermines Feminism

Katrina Leclerc is an award‑winning peacebuilder, researcher, and advocate who specializes in the intersection of Women, Peace & Security (WPS). She serves as a respected expert advisor to governments, UN agencies, and civil society, supporting inclusive peace policy development and implementation across multiple regions and countries, including in Congo, Kenya, Lebanon, Rwanda and more. She was also here in Malaysia recently to meet up with the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development, as well as civil society.

In this epsiode, we speak to Katrina about the work that she does as a peacebuilder, what a feminist foreign policy would look like, and power asymetries between the global north and global south.
