Over many years there has been growing discussion across the WPS space about “emerging issues” – mass displacement, climate change, pandemics, humanitarian crises and violent extremism – and their growing impact on peace and security globally, and in our region. These issues are no longer “emerging” and the unequal, gendered impacts are influencing the lives, livelihoods and security of women and girls everyday.

 

What needs to change to redefine our traditional understandings of security, to address these “emerged” issues, to respond to the gendered impacts and to provide practical and sustainable approaches to address them?

 

At the point of the 20th anniversary of UN SCR 1325, what needs to change and shift in our response to the WPS agenda; for civil society, especially for diverse women and girls, nation states and multilateral organisations. This webinar will focus on pandemics, climate change and humanitarian crises.
