And starting with Amaya, perhaps, I would love to hear a story about what brought you to working on these questions of gender, peace, and justice, and what makes those questions come alive for you.

Thank you so much, Roxani, and big thanks to Beyond Borders for the invitation to be here.

It's lovely to be back in the company of these amazing women in Scotland, which is always really fun at this time of the year.

I think for me, my... sort of entry into the space was completely accidental.

It sort of goes back to when I was 16.

I don't know about many of you, but when I was in school, which was, I think this was almost, yeah, a really long, long time ago, we still had landlines.

And especially when we had exams coming up, which in India, we had these big exams right around the time when we turned 16.

In peace and justice, when a conflict goes on for so long, how do you and the people who work on these issues keep your faith?
