MagDA – Women, Peace, and Security
November 28, 2025
Welcome to the fourth edition of MagDA – the Magazine of Dialogue Academy. This issue is dedicated to the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, a framework that reminds us that peace cannot be sustainable without the full participation, leadership, and protection of women.
Through the voices of people from all over the world, this edition shows how WPS is not only a global agenda but also a lived reality in our communities. Across these pages you will find essays, illustrations, interviews, and poems that speak to women’s courage in challenging exclusion, resisting violence, and carving out new spaces for dialogue. From reflections on everyday struggles to creative visions for equality and justice, alumnae contributions highlight how the personal is inseparable from the political.
For DANA, the Dialogue Academy Alumnae Network, the WPS agenda is not an abstract policy, it is the foundation of our work and activism. Whether engaging in peacebuilding, advancing women’s rights, or reimagining leadership, alumnae continue to embody the principles of WPS by ensuring that women’s voices are not only included but also central to shaping solutions.
We hope this edition inspires readers to see the WPS agenda not only as a commitment made in international halls, but as a daily practice of resilience, creativity, and solidarity carried forward by women everywhere, including the alumnae of the Dialogue Academy.
