Why Linking YPS and WPS Matters (S09 E04)

In this episode, Agathe Mainaud (UNOY) and Katrina Leclerc from the Canadian Coalition for YPS (CCYPS) unpack the intersection of Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) and Women, Peace and Security (WPS) – two global agendas aimed at addressing the exclusion of historically marginalised groups from peacebuilding processes. While often treated separately, their intersection is key to understanding and addressing systemic barriers — particularly for young women — that continue to impede peace efforts. This episode is a collaboration with the Nerd-Out YPS Podcast, hosted by the CCYPS. The 9th season of the Peace Corner Podcast is an initiative of the CSPPS and UNOY Peacebuilders.
