Thank
you for entering
my site. My
name is Gaëlle
Sévenier,
Journalist -
UN Consultant.
Currently working
for the World
Meteorological
Organisation
in Geneva as
the Press Officer/Spokesperson,
I have worked
since 2004 for
the United Nations.
I came back
a year ago from
Malawi, Africa,
and before that
from Nepal were
I was working
for UNICEF as
a Communication
and Knowledge
Management (KM)
Specialist.
In the UNICEF
office in Geneva
and Kathmandu,
I wrote many
KM reports,
including a
major one on
KM
in the UN,
created this
resource package
on child
protection
in Central and
Eastern Europe
(CEE/CIS) and
this one on
the UN
Consultation
on Violence
Against Children
in Europe and
Central Asia.
I also coordinated
video documentaries
and UNICEF campaigns,
conceptualised
the CEE/CIS
Intranet, created
the first UNICEF
Regional Office
web site (unicef.org/ceecis)
and wrote many
articles and
publications
on children's
issues.
Before
working for
UNICEF, I worked
as a journalist
in South America.
I specialised
my writing on
Indigenous rights,
living with
different tribes
and ethnic groups
through out
the continent.
You
can read on
this web site
most of my publications.
I
covered stories
about indigenous
massacres in
the paramilitary
zone of Colombia,
death squads
persecuting
teenage gang
members in Honduras,
Mayas Sin Tierra
waiting for
one year on
the side of
the road for
the Government
to respect the
peace accords
in Guatemala…
For the AFP,
La Nacion or
the Denver post
(among others),
I have investigated
on issues such
as a Radio station
evicted from
the UN University
for Peace after
broadcasting
anti-globalization
statements,
on a cocaine
factory, Sandinista
farmers, indigenous
theater gatherings...
Sometimes,
I receive really
nice messages
from people
around the world
who have read
some of my work.
I would like
to thank you
for your support
and interest;
please do not
hesitate to
contact me.
Gaëlle
