Sex and World Peace: How the Treatment of Women Affects Development and Security
When: Thurs, Apr 26 | 12:00pm-2:00pm
Where: 5th Floor, Woodrow Wilson Center
Do abnormal sex ratios favoring males and inequitable realities in family law - among other gendered aggressions - have adverse effects on state security? How do we tackle persistent gender inequalities in order to advance development efforts?
Valerie Hudson will present her new book, Sex and World Peace, where she argues that the security of women is a vital factor in the security of the state and the incidence of conflict. Jeni Klugman will draw on the World Bank's 2012 World Development Report to explain how ‘missing women’ and similar demographic trends impact efforts to improve development. Richard Cincotta will discuss his analysis of gender impacts on development and security for the U.S. intelligence community.
