World military expenditure reached almost $ 3 trillion in 2025, the biggest increases took place in Asia and the Pacific. This part of the world has experienced the reality of militarism and its aftermath for long – displacement of Indigenous communities, environmental damage and sexual violence against women. But there is also resistance, spearheaded by women.

Woman on Air Andreea Zelinka talks in this episode with Kamakshi and Zar Zar from the Asian Pacific Forum on Women, Law and Development about their latest webinar series « Demanding Feminist Peace and Justice » that launched a campaign which brings forward the voices of women who are resisting everyday militarized realities in their regions.
