Women in Promoting Peaceful and Inclusive Societies: 4th Annual Sheikha Fatima Lectureship

The fourth-annual Sheikha Fatima lectureship focused on the tangible efforts made every day by “Women in Promoting Peaceful and Inclusive Societies.” Women’s inclusion in decision making and peace processes directly contributes to more sustainable, peaceful societies.

Speakers approached the topic from three different perspectives: civil society, governments and international organizations. These three actors have worked in tandem to push for real gains in social inclusion.
