"The Fabric of War and Phase 4: Women, Peace, and Security Components"

The purpose of this conference was to hold discussions and exchange ideas, philosophies and practical experience about a variety of subjects related to the December 19, 2011 National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security (NAP). This exchange brought together, for the first time in a U.S. war college setting, panelists who represented an extensive set of viewpoints and experiences from the military, non-profit, bureaucratic, academic, national and international realms.

Discussion topics for the conference were wide-ranging and are based on the National Action Plan’s five guiding principles as well as upon political, military, educational, institutional, sociological and anthropological viewpoints for attaining the goal of ‘empowering half the world’s population in conflict prevention and peace building.’
