Dear Colleagues,

It's a great pleasure to e-meet you all!

My name is Isabella. I have worked for over eight years in human rights, humanitarian affairs (with a focus on armed conflict-induced forced displacement) and the protection of civilians (PoC) in conflict and post-conflict settings, both on HQ and on field level, as well as for several years in advocacy for the promotion and protection of human rights and the enhancement of accountability. I went from academic/research work to working with NGOs to working in diplomacy, before I came to the UN some five years ago. With that, I transition back and forth between the humanitarian and the peacebuilding/ peacekeeping sectors: Most recently, I have completed my assignment as IHL/PoC Expert with UNOCHA Ethiopia where I advised the HC/RC and the Deputy HC/RC as well as the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) in Ethiopia on related matters, and I am currently taking up my new role as Justice Advisor/Prosecution Expert with UNMISS in South Sudan where I will support authorities in Lakes State in prosecuting conflict-related  crimes committed against civilians, with a focus on sexual violence offences.

Spending lots of time quite far apart from loved ones due to work committments, it is my favourite New Year's tradition to come together with familiy and friends, to reconnect and to talk about old and new things as the old year goes by and the new one sets in.

I look forward to our exchanges!

Hi everyone in Group 3! My name is Liz Hedge, I am a Research Associate at the Global Women's Institute and have worked on the Empowered Aid project for the past 3 years. I am very passionate about creating a world in which women and girls can live free from violence. I am also your administrative and technical support for these discussion groups and the Empowered Aid online course.

My favorite New Years tradition is to be with my family and welcoming the New Year together with a big home cooked meal including lots of desserts that I love to bake, and dance with sparklers (safely!).
