Half the World Deserves a Whole Voice:

Gender Dimensions of Women, Peace and Security

Register now!  Join the Metropolitan New York Chapter's September programmatic look at UNIFEM's work in Governance, Peace and Security as Anne-Marie Goetz, Chief Advisor, discusses this important topic with Sam Cook, PeaceWomen Project Director for the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom.  Today's conflicts have resulted in more than 70% civilian casualties -- most of them women and children.  And though women are often the most ardent advocates for peace, they are generally excluded from post-conflict peace talks and reconstruction processes.

Come hear what progress has been made, and who is making it.  BRING A GUEST!
