The Role of Women in Transforming Conflict Environments
Over the past two decades, the international community has come to recognize the distinct ways that violence and conflict affect women, and the potential of women as agents of positive change and drivers of sustainable peace. Despite this recognition, women are still disproportionately affected and threatened in conflict environments, and underrepresented in development and peacemaking roles. How can women not only survive, but thrive, in the face of conflict—and ultimately contribute to the resolution of those conflicts over time? How can governments, multilaterals, NGO’s, and civil society support the protection, empowerment and engagement of women from the top down, as well as the bottom up, toward a safer and more peaceful future?
Katrina Fotovat, U.S. Senior Official to the Secretary of State in the Office of Global Women’s Issues
Dr. Shereen El Feki, Regional Director, UNAIDS
Dr. Amal Al Malki, Founding Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Hamad bin Khalifa University
Fawzia Koofi, Former Chairperson of Women, Civil Society and Human Rights Commission, Afghanistan Parliament; Former member of Afghan Peace Negotiation in Doha
Congresswoman Jane Harman Distinguished Fellow and President Emerita, Wilson Center (moderator)
