Event Details

What specific and unique contributions do women make throughout the security sector?  How can military, police, and policy communities enable their participation?  How can troops not only protect women from sexual and other violence, but acknowledge and engage them as critical resources to fulfilling mission mandates?  A panel will discuss these questions as well as potential human rights-based arguments to convince local partners of the importance of including a gender lens to security efforts.
