Is it possible that world leaders today may be exhibiting, numbing or inflicting individual and/or collective pain in domestic or foreign policies?
What is the connection between pain, power and transnational feminism? What causes the disconnection of seeing pain only as a personal experience instead of it being, also, a collective one?
Have Individuals or States engaged in life-draining instead of life-sustaining decisions?
Which economic/cultural/religious systems weaponize pain and which others prioritize wellbeing for Humans & Earth sustainable evolution?
An interview with Dr. L. Ayu Saraswati, professor in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Hawai`i and author of "Scarred: A Feminist Journey Through Pain" (2023), and "Seeing Beauty, Sensing Race in Transnational Indonesia" (2024).

Is the media coverage of foreign policy focusing on statesâ behavior to, purposely, dehumanize people? How mainstream, traditional and social media coverages of international conflicts are influenced by and/or can influence too: People, States & Systems?
How complex is the experience of covering human rights violations, defense and protection? Can media coverages of human rights violations and mass crimes vary depending on the diplomatic, economic, religious and cultural ties of the countriesâ news companies, journalists and editors are from, based on or respond to?
Are states foregoing Humanitarian Intervention and R2P mechanisms because economic, diplomatic and religious ties with private or third party actors triumph over, or come at the expense of, the suffering of âotherâ people?
Which human stories of conflict, justice, peace and memory become top news and why others arenât? Where are these stories being told and who is paying attention, ridiculing, ignoring or censuring them?
A Spanish-language interview with Marta Saiz, freelance human rights journalist with more than a decade of experience covering conflict, migration and human rights stories in Iran, Greece, Palestine, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Bolivia and Paraguay; winner of the 2021 Premio de periodismo de migraciĂłn laboral of the International Labour Organization.

Have individuals and states outgrown the current international systems? Is the international political system not meant for states to grow unlimited within it or...to grow outside of it?
What if 20th century norms and rules created by international community institutions (and by certain state and non-state actors) were and are limiting humans and states' evolution?
What is the current World Order? Are we already in a "New" World Order? Or are we living through a... World Disorder?
Are modern states and non-state actors, leaders and institutions creating new forms of "order" without sharing values and interest in *agreed* relation?
How comfortable are we with uncertainty and disorder?
Do humans aspire for or resist order? Do humans actually, crave for or are preconditioned to desire, disorder to be the norm?

How free are Women in Politics? When does personal agency or identity can get lost in the launch and execution of political campaigns? What weighs more in the road to election: personal reasons, collective pressures/promises or a combination of both?
With the rise of female candidates running for presidential positions in different countries, what's the ratio of commitment to serve the people vs. the interests of corporations, donors and campaign backers?
Just as subjects can become political, what if staying too long in positions of political power strips elected officials from their own personal identity? Who are they or who they can be without... "Politics"? And is this possible crisis of personal identity a reason why they may "cling" to "power"?

How the political climate of countries can hinder or facilitate conflict resolution or peace efforts? When did the concept of "peace" become a political tool for winning or losing a presidential elections in Colombia? Can the new 'Total Peace' plan pave the way for transitional or transformational justice?
How have Conflict-Related Sexual Violence cases within rebel groups such as the FARC been addressed in transitional justice mechanisms? Who are the 'ideal victims' for the State or the special judicial systems? How can reparations for sexual violence victims include a gender perspective?
An interview with Daniela SuĂĄrez Vargas is a PhD student in Law at Queenâs University Belfast (UK), a scholar of the AHRC Northern Bridge Consortiumâs doctoral training programme (UK), and a qualified lawyer in Colombia. Her PhD project analyses how legal narratives of the "ideal victim" of sexual violence impact the recognition of victim status for women fighters who experienced such violence within their own armed group.

Are we stuck in a Suspended Human Evolution? Is it preventing us to develop a process to "Care for Peace" at a global scale? What can we learn from healthcare professionals to understand this concept from an individual to a systemic level?
Why the Mutual Assured Destruction in the early 1960s meant the end of the First Human Evolution? And how can we launch the Second one in this decade?
On International Peace Day 2023, the call to rethink the international system to prevent or intervene in growing conflicts and insecurity challenges is expanding in different power circles from governments, IR and Peace fields to feminist, environmental, societal and spiritual ones.
How are we each contributing to our race or Planet extinction or... to the quest for long lasting peace?

What is the caste system and why it still continues nowadays in India?Dalit women and girls are placed at the bottom of the caste system, why is it so? What are some cultural or religious norms negatively affecting Dalit and Adivasis women and girls? How do they differ from castes in Northern India?
Despite all the domestic and international human rights laws focusing on protecting caste marginalized communities, why structural violence and sexual violence persists against them? How can States work through "reforming" centuries old societal/economic/religious organization systems to "fit" current times?
Are there limits to what "States" can do to ensure inter communal violence doesn't occur? What if there are "non-negotiables" for societal and ethnic organizations, different than states structures, depending on a country's history?

We may have been taught the study of International Relations in a logical way as if there were no underlying energies, emotions and desires in the behaviors and relations between states but, that time, has come to an end.
What kind of energies lie beneath domestic and foreign policies? Are states striving for balance or moving towards the extremes of hypermasculinity or hyperfemininity? How are these two concepts influencing their decision-making? How is the intersection between individual thought/emotion/will, social/racial/gender/environmental movements, nations and cultures affecting the structures of States and their relations with others?
Why some domestic or foreign policies thrive or fall because of their excess or lack of "energy" behind them?

Is diplomacy a world of political favors? Do diplomats hold conditional "power" in personal friendships and state alliances? Is this power symbolic, cultural or merely decorative or performative for specific circles (party elites, lobbies, etc) or media circus?
Can the role of ambassadors and diplomatic missions deactivate when Realism kicks in the minds of political leaders for power control and state survival? What is the purpose of state ambassadors in times of crisis? Do soft power, discourses and negotiations mostly thrive when Liberalist Theory is the cornerstone of government administrations, foreign policy models and the languages, behaviors and actions that follow?

The COVID-19 pandemic hit the global economy in unprecedented ways, marking a new wave of interest in the design of healthier and alternative economic systems for the benefit of People and Planet. Unpaid domestic work and the care crisis has been big areas of concern amongst scholars and activists studying and advocating for Feminist Economics principles, how can theory and praxis of the care economy help clear the knowledge gap between the public, private and civil sectors?
What is the care economy and why its past and present organization is creating a structural barrier limiting women's economic participation? How has climate change exacerbated the care crisis? In which ways the private sector is helping solve the care crisis in Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia? Since there are pink washing dynamics in gender lens investments and philanthropy initiatives, how could a "well-executed" care economy lens change the future of investments, businesses and markets?

Cecilia MonzĂłn's femicide in 2022 shocked thousands of people in Mexico. The public outcry for justice for her and the many mothers who were and still are victims of gender based violence perpetrated by their current or former partners led to several activist campaigns and the proposal of laws including the Monzon's Law or Ley de MonzĂłn.
What is Cecilia's story and what was her feminist fight? In a country with one of the highest rates of femicides in the Latin American region, what is the importance of gender perspectives in Law? How is institutional gender violence revictimizing victims and their families while favoring perpetrators of crimes? What can we learn from the human rights and children rights dimensions of Cecilia's case? Why are feminist collectives so important in the quest for justice and prevention of GBV?
