Linking the Security of Women and the Security of States

On April 27, Futures Without Violence and Open Square are hosting an event called Linking the Security of Women and the Security of States, a working laboratory that will explore the relationship between gender-based violence and violent extremism.

This Washington D.C. event will convene experts and leaders from a wide array of sectors— including security, science, policy and advocacy, among others. The program will address:

• the relationship between violent extremism, gender-based violence and child trauma,
• how extremist groups use gender-based violence and gender dynamics in their strategy and operations, and
• how a better understanding of the impact of trauma can improve interventions to disrupt recruitment to violent extremist groups and enhance the security of states

This gathering is over capacity and participant registration is now closed.
