Clash or Consensus? Gender and Human Security in a Globalized World
October 8-9, 2003: The conference provided a forum for women leaders and human security experts from the Global South, particularly from Muslim societies, to come together to discuss and strategize on ways to advance human security around the world. In this conference, human security was rethought from an exclusive concern with the security of the state to include a holistic concern with the security of the people. WLP's conference advanced this new vision of human security by analyzing human security issues from a gender perspective, and exploring ways to implement human security goals including conflict prevention, sustainable development, gender equity, and strong civil societies that promote democratic processes.
