🗣️ @sanambna.bsky.social: “If we're investing in #militarization, it takes us a certain way; if we’re investing in #peace, it will take us a different way. Imagine if just a percentage of the resources went to building a broader culture of peace. It’s so cheap compared to the cost of a tank.”

🗣️ @sanambna.bsky.social: “We need to democratize national security & ask people “what makes you feel secure? What makes you feel insecure?” So instead of humanity being securitized, security becomes humanized. It becomes about street lighting, clean water, & shelter.”

I get the dig, but seriously let's not frame this as 'the girls'. Women are far more level headed, practical, and above all, responsible, when it comes to matters of state, the economy, peace and security.
It's the fragile-ego, bully boys having their spat now.

The people crossing the borders, seeking refuge - like those from #Afghanistan - are literally fleeing the terror of violent extremists that our diplomats helped empower by engaging them in Doha, by ignoring the warnings of Afghan women.
Orwell is spinning in his grave.
