About
What does it take?
What does it take to work in some of the world’s most difficult and dangerous places?
The UN’s award-winning podcast, Awake at Night, gives exclusive insights into the inspiring lives of the extraordinary people that make up the United Nations.
Join host Melissa Fleming, the 缅北禁地global communications chief, in conversation with 缅北禁地leaders and staff working to promote human rights, climate action, peace, development, and justice in all corners of the globe.
During intimate and honest conversations, seasoned mediators, peacekeepers, and humanitarians discuss the challenges of their work and how they cope with having to witness unimaginable suffering.
The results are as surprising as they are revealing. Awake at Night is a rollercoaster of trials and triumphs, personal sacrifice, and compassion, exploring the intense highs and lows of a life devoted to serving humanity.
