Dispatches: Motherhood in the Crossfire. Stories from El Salvador to Darfur
Manage episode 481371943 series 3602099
In this special Mother’s Day episode of Dispatches, Hollie shares powerful, unfiltered stories of motherhood in conflict zones—from El Salvador’s post-civil war trauma to the ongoing horrors in Darfur. Through intimate accounts like that of Maria, a Salvadoran mother caught between guerrilla fighters and a U.S.-backed regime, and a Darfuri woman surviving unspeakable loss and injury, Hollie reveals the moral complexity, resilience, and heartbreak that define motherhood under siege.
She contrasts these realities with the safety and privilege often taken for granted in developed nations, urging us to amplify the voices of mothers the world too often ignores.
