While everyone else was at the beach, the Institute army was busy with an international conference! Organized with our partner the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) Centre for Women, in collaboration with the Danish Center for Gender, Equality, and Diversity (KVINFO), IWSAW hosted an international conference to engage international, regional, and national stakeholders in strategic dialogue on women, peace and security in the Arab region. As you can imagine, this is no small task, considering the many security challenges we have in the region!
