SUMMARY:Harnessing Innovative Tools of Accountability in Pursuit of International Justice
DESCRIPTION:The world is witnessing a time of immense displacement\, conflict\, and violence\, with women and girls exposed to unprecedented rates of sexual and gender-based violence\, forced displacement\, and a broad range of human rights violations. Without accountability\, justice\, or protection measures in place\, conflict and violence will continue. The international community has worked to establish legal pathways at the domestic\, international\, and regional levels to respond to demands for justice and accountability. Technology plays an increasingly important role in the fight for justice and accountability. How has the rise of technology shaped the tools available to identify and document atrocities\, and how effective are these tools in the fight to prosecute perpetrators of violent crimes? \nJoin Women In International Security (WIIS) and the Embassy of Liechtenstein on December 7\, 2023\, at 11:00 AM (EDT) for a discussion focusing on the current state of play in the system of international justice and accountability and ways to harness innovative tools for pursuing justice and accountability for genocide and crimes against humanity while integrating a gendered approach and analysis.\nOpening Remarks \nH.E. Ambassador Georg Sparber\nAmbassador of Liechtenstein to the U. S. \nAriela Blätter\nPresident and CEO\, Women In International Security \nPanelists \nJennifer Glaudemans\nSenior Advisor\, Office of Global Criminal Justice at the U.S. Department of State \nWai Wai Nu\nFounder and Executive Director\, Women’s Peace Network \nAndrea Gittleman\nPolicy Director\, Simon Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide

SUMMARY:Elevating Women’s Leadership for Effective Transboundary Water Cooperation
DESCRIPTION:Research shows that including women in peace processes makes agreements more durable and leads to lower instances of conflict. Despite this\, less than 10 percent of negotiators in peace processes are women — and in transboundary water management\, women are specifically underrepresented\, especially at higher levels of decision-making. However\, entities such as the Women in Water Diplomacy Network are looking to change this by supporting a community of practice focused on empowerment\, peer-to-peer learning and collective advocacy for formal and informal women water diplomats\, with a focus in conflict-sensitive regions such as the Nile Basin\, Central Asia and Afghanistan\, among others. \nJoin USIP for a conversation on women’s leadership in water diplomacy. In honor of the second International Day of Women in Diplomacy\, women water diplomats from around the world will discuss water conflict sensitivities\, share lessons learned and enumerate paths forward for peace.\n\nSpeakers\nKayly Ober\, welcoming remarks\nSenior Program Officer\, Climate\, Environment and Conflict\, U.S. Institute of Peace \nHenk W.J.

SUMMARY:Where is the Caribbean in the Dutch WPS National Action Plan?
DESCRIPTION:Women in International Security Netherlands (WIIS NL) is pleased to invite you to our event on Thursday the 25th of May focusing on the Dutch Caribbean! \nWhere is the Caribbean in the Dutch WPS National Action Plan?\nThe Dutch Caribbean\, which include the diverse islands of Aruba\, Curacao\, Sint Maarten\, Bonaire\, Saba\, and Sint Eustatius\, faces a unique set of challenges when it comes to gender and human security. Many of the human security issued faced on the islands have an important gender component: personal security in the barrios; sex-trafficking; prostitution; crime and policing; drug trafficking; climate-change threats to livelihoods; disaster response in the leeward islands which experience hurricanes; economic and social security and access to higher education. \nDespite the Netherlands’ commitment to the WPS agenda\, which includes the publication of four national action plans\, the needs of women in the Dutch Caribbean remain largely invisible in public debate and policy initiatives. Indeed\, existing security initiatives for the region are usually gender-blind. \nTogether with Samira Rafaela (Member of European Parliament\, D66) and Dr. Paula Kibbelaar (Instituto Pedagogico Arubano)\, we aim to shed some much needed light on the gendered insecurities faced in the Dutch Caribbean. How can local solutions to local problems not only be found\, but also supported through e.g. the National Action Plans?

SUMMARY:Gendered Harm: The Disproportionate Impact of Weapons on Women and Girls
DESCRIPTION:Join Women In International Security (WIIS) and the Embassy of Liechtenstein on May 17\, 2023\, at 11:00 AM (EDT) for a virtual discussion on how arms control\, nonproliferation\, and disarmament efforts must identify and address the harmful impact of weapons on women and girls. \nThis event brings together experts on gender and nuclear weapons\, chemical and biological weapons\, and small arms and light weapons to find new ways of acknowledging gendered impact in arms control and disarmament debates. The discussion will take stock of the ways in which weapons can harm women and girls; discuss obstacles to effective assistance and support for victims; compare best practices of acknowledging gendered harm in arms control and disarmament debates; and develop proposals for practitioners to address the disproportionate impact that weapons can have on women and girls. \n  \nOpening Remarks \nH.E.

SUMMARY:Celebrating the Life & Legacy of WIIS' Founder\, Dr. Catherine Kelleher

Catherine was a champion for gender equality. Catherine was prompted to found WIIS through her own experiences as a woman in the field of international security\, especially arms control. A friend and mentor to many\, her legacy is the generations of young and talented women working in national and international security.
