Today, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke emphatically in support of the tenets of ##WPS at the #NATO Women, Peace and Security Reception in Washington, DC: "To achieve [NATO's strategic objectives], we have to meaningfully include women at every level. As we know, the evidence shows that when women enjoy greater physical security, when their rights are respected, when societies have higher levels of gender equality, entire countries are more stable. They’re more prosperous; they’re more peaceful. And when women are meaningfully involved in making and keeping the peace, it is more likely to endure. This is not just a women’s issue. It’s a national security issue, an economic issue, and yes, a moral issue as well – including for NATO, which was built on a shared commitment to defend liberty, to defend democracy, to defend the rule of law." At ISOA, we are also committed to supporting the tenets of #WPS through education and engagement, among other approaches. Incorporating WPS into peace-building and conflict recovery efforts leads to more effective, sustainable peace and security initiatives. Interested in learning more? Recently, ISOA's WPS lead Neelima Grover led a dynamic discussion about operationalizing WPS with several experts from U.S. Department of Defense, USAID and industry, including Tiffani Phillips, Sharon Gouveia Feist, Nino Nadiradze, Jennifer K. Johnson and Mick Bednarek. If you missed this enlightening discussion, we invite you to view the recording here --> https://lnkd.in/eWKEs8it Stay tuned for more about WPS coming soon!

We were grateful to have experts Ian Easton, Grace Price, Randy Schriver, Dan Blumenthal and Rupert Hammond-Chambers share their well-informed insights on the current geopolitical situation, Taiwan's preparedness for an invasion, and what US contractors might be able to do to support our allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
