Gender, Sex, & Peace: How the Security of Women & LGBTQ+ Communities Determines Security for All
Description
Just last month, the United Nations observed the 22nd anniversary of the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, setting the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda. In recent years, the world has seen both tremendous achievements and setbacks in relation to the status of women and LGBTQ+ individuals—from Iran to Afghanistan to Myanmar.
In this episode of AfP's Peace: We Build It! podcast, join host Tanya Domi and guests Dr. Valerie Hudson, University Distinguished Professor and George H.W. Bush Chair, Professor of International Affairs at Texas A&M University, and Victor Madrigal-Borloz, the United Nations Independent Expert on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, for a discussion about the rising global crackdown on women and LGBTQ+ communities, and the critical importance of their inclusion and leadership in peace, democracy, and security initiatives. Learn how gender and sexual relations shape other social, economic, and political relationships, and how the WPS and LGBTQ+ communities can learn from each other to advance multidimensional inclusion, protection, and durable peacebuilding.
