On this week's edition of Our Voices, we hear about women who are leading change for a safe and prosperous Sahel. Coumba Bah, a Malian gender and communication specialist, and Wapoenje Dacruz Evora from the United States Institute for Peace’s Africa Center joined our hosts at the Our Voices table. Plus, Dacruz Evora of USIP's Women Preventing Violent Extremism program says adding women to the peace-building discussion can provide greater gains when fighting for stability and security on the continent.
