Please join the CSIS Smart Women, Smart Power Initiative on Friday, November 15, at 10:00 am ET for a virtual launch of the brief: Countering China and Russia: The Hidden Advantages of Women, Peace, and Security.
How can Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) be better utilized to accomplish U.S. strategic objectives? This brief identifies mechanisms for enhancing collaboration with partner nations and strengthen U.S. deterrence posture through better integrating gender perspectives and WPS principles into U.S. strategy. Gender analysis illuminates opportunities for better appreciating, and acting on, adversary pressure points. WPS, in turn, can serve as a key force multiplier, specifically in the European and Indo-Pacific theaters.
This discussion will feature Dr. Kathleen McInnis, Director, Smart Women, Smart Power Initiative, CSIS, Dr. Kyleanne Hunter, Director, RAND Women, Peace, and Security Initiative, and Monica S. Herrera, Acting Director for International Humanitarian Policy and Senior Gender Advisor, Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, U.S. Department of Defense.
This event is made possible through support from the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
