Watch episode

What challenges do women still have to overcome in Africa and around the world? Can they play a decisive role in peace negotiations? An interview with Nobel Peace Prize winner and women's rights activist Leymah Roberta Gbowee, conducted by Pedro Pinto.

Gbowee played a pivotal role in creating the peace movement that helped end the civil war in Liberia in 2003. She created an organisation to defend women's rights and has her own vision of how women can contribute to changing the world. She claims to be a woman who is not afraid to tell the truth.

Leymah Roberta Gbowee is the guest of journalist Pedro Pinto in this «It's Not That Simple» interview. A program that brings you major current affairs issues, simplified by leading experts.

Because in a time of dizzying information, sometimes you have to pause before you can  understand. Because not everything is that simple.
