The IADB participates in an important event on the Women, Peace and Security Agenda

On March 8, the Inter-American Defense Board (IDB) had the honor of participating in a crucial event for the Women, Peace and Security (MPS) Agenda, organized by Women In International Security (WIIS) and the Embassy of Liechtenstein.

This in-person meeting included the participation of Anne Witkowsky, Deputy Secretary of State of the US Department of State and the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations, as well as a panel of experts who discussed strategies to incorporate a gender perspective in stabilization plans for states affected by conflicts.

 It is crucial to integrate a gender perspective into these plans to promote equality and the principles of the WPS agenda.

The discussion highlighted how these gender perspectives have been integrated into the plans, underlining the importance of this approach in security and stabilization policy.

We had the pleasure of listening to Tahina Montoya, a prominent contributor to the IADB, who has participated as moderator and speaker in our last seminars. Her intervention emphasized the relevance of incorporating a gender perspective, marking a milestone in the progress towards gender equality in contexts of global fragility.

Additionally, the IADB was recognized in an important WIIS publication as a collaborator:
