NWI Third International Conference: Women Forging a New Security

Description

Over 120 civil society activists, corporate and security sector leaders, military and peacekeeping personnel and academics convened to discuss and share ideas at the conference.

“Waging war on the bodies of women has got to stop,” says Jody Williams. “Like any tactic of war, it can be eliminated. The magnitude of the problem must be matched by our collective effort. Working together, we can finally bring an end to this scourge on women and their communities.”
