Description: A snapshot from Prof. Betty Reardon's Lecture 'New Frontiers of Peace Education' delivered to students from different colleges across Delhi.

Why does gender matter when thinking about security? In Asia, discussions and policies concerning conflict, peace and security remain dominated by male voices and views. The exclusion of women’s voices has significant implications for the types of ideas, strategies and policies that are proposed and adopted in security-related fields.

Dr Meenakshi Gopinath (Founder and Honorary Director of WISCOMP)  talks to Dr Jasmine-Kim Westendorf (International Relations, La Trobe University) about how and why women should be included and encouraged in conflict resolution.
