Women make up nearly half of the world's population, but they are largely absent from national security debates. Conflict, on the other hand, is gendered and has vastly different effects on men, women, girls, and boys. As a result, in order to achieve more effective policies and long-term solutions, we must acknowledge the critical role of female voices in national security discussions. This session will delve into the role of women in national security––both uniformed and non-uniformed––and what more can be done to ensure diversity in positions of national security decision making.
