Convened by the Women Peacemakers Programme (WPP), Human Security Collective (HSC), Women in Governance India (WinG) and the Ecumenical Women’s Initiative (Croatia), The Netherlands Permanent Mission to the UN hosted a panel discussion to look at emerging trends in the women, peace & security field directly related to counterterrorism measures. It specifically highlighted the obstacles women’s organizations and activists encounter in regards to shrinking space due to tightened financial regulations, and provided a list of key recommendations for civil society, national and international policy makers, as well as UN representatives.
Lia van Broekhoven, Executive Director of Human Security Collective, was on the panel.
