Halifax International Security Forum Peace with Women Fellowship (HISF-21A)

  • Flatter Inc 10707 Spotsylvania Ave Fredericksburg, VA, 22408 (map)

The Halifax International Security Forum’s Peace with Women Fellowship brings together senior active-duty, female military officers from NATO member and partner countries for a 3-week executive tour of the political and technological capitals of the United States and Canada. Increasing women’s leadership roles in international security affairs is central to safeguarding democracies. To that end, the Peace with Women Fellowship is designed to challenge participants by engaging with senior government, military, corporate, and academic leaders to discuss and better understand the world’s leading security issues. Fellows also engage with each other, forging relationships with other leaders across the NATO Alliance. The program endeavors to not only ensure that the Fellows can talk about the problems and ideas with which they interact, but also that they can propose innovative solutions and apply what they learn in their home countries. Through the Fellowship, participants deepen their understanding of how a number of subjects, including technology, climate, the role of civil society, gender perspectives, and others, affect cooperation among democracies.
