Uncomfortable Truths, Unconventional Wisdoms: Women's Perspectives on Violent Extremism and Security Interventions
Mon 23 May 2016
Alison Richard Building
The panel will address the diverse approaches of local women-led organizations to (1) the closing of civil society space as challenge to prevention of extremism, (2) the problems and potential of police (3) the role of militias and ilitarisation, and (4) international interventions. There will also be participation from grassroots peacebuilders from Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Pakistan and Syria. The experience shared by participants will illustrate the findings of 'Uncomfortable Truths, Unconventional Wisdoms: Women's Perspectives on Violent Extremism and Security Interventions', the first brief issued by the Women's Alliance for Security Leadership (WASL) based on consultations with over 70 women peace and rights practitioners in 15 countries across the Middle East, North Africa and Asia.
A sandwich lunch will be provided from 11.30 am and all are welcome to attend.
