This interactive panel discussion will bring together women civil society leaders and scholars to show why women, peace and securty (WPS) advocates, if they are to achieve their goals, must focus on and incorporate feminist analysis of physical infrastructure.
The emphasis will be on decentralised and environmentally appropriate infrastructure solutions that are informed by women’s knowledge and needs.
The panel will focus on how to create the enabling international policy environment to support those solutions and incorporate feminist analysis for feminist peace and sustainable development.

- Carol Cohn, Director, Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights
- Joy Onyesoh, WILPF International President & Founder of Women’s Situation Room, Nigeria
- Madeleine Rees, Secretary-General, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom
