Women as a Barometer of Success and Stability?
Jan 21, 2015
Story
I have spent my last 3 days learning how to author simulations. It is a growing field that fits nicely with Web 2.0 philosophies. I really enjoy the learning opportunities the United States Institute of Peace provides.
Today will be another one. This time a webcast of a panel discussion on the topic described on the Title line above. I participated interested to be involved in discussion of the following questions:
a) How do we know we are on track when it comes to post-conflict stabilization and reconstruction?
b) How do we know that our military, diplomatic and development efforts are working?
The expert panel believe that one key indicator when gauging success is women’s participation and access to the political, economic and social arenas.
