description:
The transitions in the Middle East and North Africa region have seen increased militarism, arms flow and gender-based violence. The linkages between these security threats and women’s rights, participation of women, access to justice, and socio-economic development must be addressed and
acted upon now.
In the transformative spirit of UN Security Council resolution 1325, experts from the region will discuss and challenge the current realities and make strategic recommendations for the international community.
Join the discussion, meet the women and hear their experience.
