Women Ending War

Women Ending War is a podcast by and about Palestinian and Israeli women working to end war, oppression, and violence by sharing human narratives, faces, and the language of justice and shared society. Co-hosted by Elana with partners Amira Musallam and Eva Dalak, working together to bring women’s voices to the center of the conversation, the podcast features conversations with Jewish and Palestinian women activists, scholars, organizers, journalists, religious leaders, educators, and peacebuilders. Guests speak about occupation, war, bereavement, racism, feminism, trauma, non-violence, community organizing, and the daily work of building relationships across lines of conflict.

The podcast creates a public space for women’s political thinking and lived experience, especially voices that are often excluded from mainstream security and political discourse. The work is rooted in feminist peacebuilding and in the belief that people need accessible language, human stories, and trusted voices in order to resist hatred and imagine alternatives to violence.
