SHEcurity

#SHEcurity - launch of the 2022 Index twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Thank you for all your support so far, especially to our great #SHEcurity partners! For now, we'll take a break ☕️. (3/3)

This should be a space bringing together representatives of traditional foreign, security & defence policy with those working on gender issues in the field. #SHEcurity has achieved a lot, but our fight for more women & diversity in foreign & security policy continues. (2/3)

Dear friends & supporters, Three years after our launch, it's time to open a new chapter: We want to make sure the work of #SHEcurity can be continued. That's why we have submitted a proposal to @EU_Commission and @eu_eeas to finance & set up a collaborative #WPS Dashboard. (1/3)
