Season 3 Introduction

The Center for Naval Analyses’ 2023 Advancing Women, Peace and Security: Building Inclusive Resilience in the Pacific conference hosted in Suva, Fiji brought together some of the Pacific Islands leading women voices and activists to not only educate and share lessons learned but to encourage the discussion beyond headlines and into the preservation of culture, way of life, tradition and conservation for generations to come. Listen in as we hear from the front line in a conversation moderated by our FemLink partner Maria Nailevu with guest speakers- Maureen Penjueli, Coordinator of Pacific Network on Globalisation (PANG), Adi Vasulevu Merewalesi Levu, Executive Director of Transcend Oceania and Cressida Kuala, Founder of the Porgera Red Wara Women's Association (PNG).


Oftentimes the lens by which we view the world can become clouded by our experiences, our exposure, our bias. Oftentimes, we decide for others based on these constraints with the understanding that our way, our thoughts, our view is golden and complete. Well, what happens when we all come to this conclusion on the same topic, when we all see the solution through our lens and yet a way forward is not so clear…we call a draw and lean into the views of those, whose current and future immediate experiences are their everyday, not a headline occurrence. In concert, we agree that proximity is the ultimate advantage and we simply listen to Maureen Penjueli, Adi Vasulevu Merewalesi Levu, and Cressida Kuala and ask the question, how does climate change and food stability impact security and stability.

S3 Special Release: Building Inclusive Resilience in the Pacific Part 2

As we close out this special series of what was one of the most important climate impact conversations, Maria asks our guests of their predictions of the future of climate change resilience, climate change activism and cultural preservation. Each in their own words, from their vantage point and through the lens of their community’s goals of survival and cultural strengthening and stability. The work does not end here, but with these words, we hope the path to mitigation success and defense is more clear and present as accomplishable- Now.

Join us as she discusses navigating decision fatigue, the journey of policy-making, and the crucial role of mentorship she wished she'd had. Fatema's story is a masterclass in making the most of every opportunity, whether it's training interns or steering national decisions. Tune in for a candid conversation that gets to the heart of the issues and the power of persistence.

If You Want to Do Policy, You Don't Need to be a Lawyer

Now, after 22 years and four long-term overseas tours, Ellen’s journey isn’t just about diplomacy—it’s about building your own seat at the table. Her children, each a piece of the world she’s explored, reflect the rich tapestry of a life shaped by global experiences.
