In the third episode of Humanitarian Leadership Stories, our mini-series produced in collaboration with the UN Humanitarian Office, OCHA, Daniel Johnson from UN News speaks to frontline relief veteran Najat Rochdi, about restoring hope to people in crisis.

It’s what Najat did, when she helped women facing gender-based violence in Lebanon, where she was the UN’s Humanitarian and Resident Coordinator. Daniel also finds out how the UN’s top aid officials in the Central African Republic, Jordan, South Sudan, and Somalia have taken steps to address the scourge of sexual violence and discrimination.
