For more than 20 years, Katrina “Kat” Fotovat has worked on the frontlines of international diplomacy, conflict resolution, women’s rights, and humanitarian protection. From refugee camps and conflict zones to global policy leadership, she has witnessed what happens when the world turns away from vulnerable women and families.
In this powerful episode of Not Silent Podcast, Kat discusses the devastating consequences of the reported $2.6 billion cuts to programs supporting women globally, the collapse of critical humanitarian services, rising authoritarianism, and the growing dangers of artificial intelligence, surveillance technologies, deepfakes, and digital abuse targeting women worldwide.
This is not just a conversation about politics or technology. It is about real lives, real suffering, and the dangerous global consequences of abandoning women, human rights, and democratic values.
