Women, peace, and security
b'
From war to food insecurity and climate change; would the world be a better, safer place if women took more decisions?
Inside Geneva podcast host Imogen Foulkes is joined in this episode by women peace and security experts.
\\u201cParticipation of women in peace and security, obviously must go beyond an \\u2018add-women-and-stir\\u2019 approach,\\u201d says Julia Hofstetter, president of Women in International Security, Switzerland.
How well are women represented in security discussions?
\\u201cThirty per cent of the delegates negotiating arms control and disarmament are women, so 70% are men,\\u201d says Renata H. Dalaqua, head of the Gender and Disarmament Programme of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research.
Is increasing numbers enough?
\\u201cThe world needs not only participation of women but also the feminist analysis on peace,\\u201d says Maria Butler, executive director of the Nobel Women\\u2019s Initiative.
