1:03:09Now PlayingWhere Does Women’s Participation Across the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Stand?
Amid intensifying competition with China, it is critical that the role of women is considered in U.S. efforts to promote a free and open Indo-Pacific. Research demonstrates that peacebuilding and security programs and policies are more successful when they ensure the full participation of women. Recognizing this, the U.S. Women, Peace and Security Strategy aims to promote women’s participation in conflict prevention, resolution and post-conflict reconstruction and mandates the Department of Defense to integrate gender perspectives into defense operations and initiatives. The United States Indo-Pacific Command has been at the forefront of these efforts.
Join USIP for a panel discussion with members of U.S. INDOPACOM, who will discuss why gender-inclusive policies are critical to security in the region. Opening remarks will be followed by a panel discussion on progress toward expanding gender-inclusion in security strategy and operations across the region.
