The podcast episodes explore the complexities and challenges of breaking cycles of violence, particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The episodes highlight how cycles of violence can become entrenched, with mistrust, conflicting narratives, and the dehumanization of the 'other' often serving to perpetuate the cycle. However, they also demonstrate the power of resilience, women's empowerment, and holistic healing approaches to disrupt these cycles and foster lasting peace.

By examining specific examples, the podcasts underscore the need for comprehensive, multifaceted approaches to addressing the root causes of violence and building sustainable solutions.
