Prof. Doris Buss and the Gender Equality Measurement group at Carleton University are hosting a one day workshop:
Women, Peace and Security National Action Plans: Challenges and Opportunities for Canadian Civil Society
This workshop brings together civil society organizations, representatives from government, and university researchers to consider Canada’s National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security.
The aim of the workshop is to explore ways in which women’s groups, peace activists, international human rights organizations can translate the Government of Canada’s commitments to women, peace and security into positive outcomes. The workshop will include a video conference with women’s groups in Northern Ireland, together with presentations by international and Canadian experts on National Action Plans and the United Nations’ Women, Peace and Security Agenda.
Registration is mandatory (and there are only a few remaining spaces in the workshop):
