Watch our April 3, 2019 conference featuring women leaders with practical steps for smart, effective national security strategy. The conference in part celebrated the launch of our new report, A New Vision: Gender. Justice. National Security. This report was produced in collaboration with Compton Foundation, Our Secure Future and Rockefeller Brothers Foundation.

VIEW REPORT

To create a world where all people and the planet are safe and free from nuclear threats, it’s imperative we harness the insight and experience the entire security field has to offer by working toward greater inclusivity and representation. To achieve this, we launched the Women's Initiative, an effort to introduce more women and diverse voices to the field of nuclear security and amplify their influence.

The Women's Initiative aims to increase the role of voices working to reduce nuclear threats and to shine a light on the present and historic injustices in the field. With your support, we can build a nuclear policy field that is open to new and diverse perspectives. Learn more about the Women's Initiative today.
