Breaking Down Barriers to a Holistic Women, Peace, and Security Agenda

The event will highlight how technological tools including
PeaceWomen's expanded Women, Peace and Security mobile
application can be used to combat obstacles to women's full and
equal access and participation in peace processes. Participants
from the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom
(WILPF), ABAAD – Resource Center for Gender Equality, and
WITNESS will discuss the opportunities and limits of technical
tools, advantages and risks involved in using them on the ground,
and the importance of addressing structural obstacles to
participation for peace and meaningful change.
