Listen "Beyond Safeguarding: A Holistic Lens on Protection in the YPS Agenda (S09 E05)"
Episode Synopsis
In this 5th episode of the Peace Corner Podcast, our host Laura Goubran speaks with Rachel Walsh Taza, Senior Manager for Strategy at Search for Common Ground, to unpack what protection truly means within the Youth, Peace and Security (YPS) agenda. Young peacebuilders—especially those from marginalised communities or conflict-affected regions—face complex, multi-layered threats. Rachel and Laura explore how traditional safeguarding mechanisms often fall short, and why protection must be redefined through a rights-based, youth-led, and inclusive lens. From systemic exclusion and physical insecurity to financial and socio-cultural risks, this episode brings forward a holistic understanding of protection rooted in lived experience. Don't miss out on this thought-provoking conversation, and tune in now! The 9th season of the Peace Corner Podcast is an initiative of CSPPS and UNOY Peacebuilders.
