Unveiling the Stories of Female Peacebuilders!

Profiling Intergenerational Voices of Female Peacebuilders: Embracing the Past, Reaching the Future

Embarking on a transformative journey, we immersed ourselves in the vibrant tapestry of Pattani and Yala provinces, capturing the untold narratives of female peacebuilders. In a whirlwind two-day fieldwork project, we intimately connected with seven remarkable women, transcending the boundaries of religion and age.

From the soothing cadence of Thai conversations, we distilled a universal essence, interpreting and crafting a mosaic of stories in English for a compelling short documentary. Muslims and Buddhists, seniors and juniors, seamlessly shared their experiences, painting a nuanced picture of resilience. Watch the Video Here
