“Volunteering is a vocation; all we need is to be passionate and determined to help build a better and more equal world for everyone. This is what resonated with me: that one day I will be able to make a contribution in tackling Gender-Based Violence against women and girls.” These are the words of Bintang Aulia, national UN Volunteer Specialist Communications and Social Media Support Officer with UN Women in Indonesia.

Bintang Aulia began her volunteering work  in 2016 during her last year of university, when she joined a climate movement in Bandung. She participated for a year learning not only about the environment and what she can do to help the earth but also about how volunteering works.

"As peacekeepers, let us never lose sight of the reason why we choose to navigate these complex and traumatic spaces in the first place, each statistic representing an individual human life." My name is Abigail Skotnes, from South Africa, and I serve as international UN Volunteer Recovery, Return and Reintegration Officer with the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).

Over the past five months, I have had the privilege to serve with UNMISS as a volunteer. I support a diverse and passionate team of peacekeepers who create a secure environment for the voluntary and dignified return and reintegration of internally displaced persons and refugees displaced during South Sudan’s civil war, or more recently due to climate-induced disasters and inter-communal clashes.
