This event was co-hosted with the U.S. Department of State; the U.S. Department of Defense; the U.S. Agency for International Development; and the U.S. Civil Society Working Group on Women, Peace and Security (CSWG).
An expert panel of representatives from key government agencies and civil society organizations reported on the progress of implementing President Barack Obama's executive order creating a United States National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security (U.S. NAP). The U.S. NAP recognizes that effective security strategies engage women as equal partners in conflict prevention and peacebuilding, ensures their lives are protected, their experiences considered, and their voices heard. In this way, conflict can be more effectively avoided and peace better forged. To advance these goals, the U.S. NAP requires provisions for women's participation in peace processes and decision-making, protection from violence, conflict prevention, and access to relief and recovery..
