Gender & Inclusivity in Peace & Security

The Quaker Council for European Affairs (QCEA) and Newcastle University invite you to the launch of an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded project on gender and inclusivity in peace and security, including an expert panel discussion on the topic. The event is kindly supported by the Irish Embassy to Belgium.
20 years on from the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, this project offers tangible guidance for individuals tasked with supporting gender in peace and security institutions, and advice on navigating the obstacles they may face in their work. It includes a best practice guide and three accompanying YouTube videos.
These focus on the following themes:
- Gender and Inclusivity Matter for Peace and Security
- Gender and Leadership: Practising Inclusivity in Peace and Security
- Overcoming Resistance to Work on Gender: Strategies and Approaches
We'd love for you to join us for our launch on
10 November 2020 14:00-16:00 CET
The event will be held by video-conference. Further info will be
communicated at a later stage.
