CT- N Female Security Shura
RC N COM Conclusions: CT-N will attempt to incorporate the ideas and solutions proposed by the
female participants during the Shura for future joint ISAF/GIRoA planning meetings.
Support Provincial Department of Women’s Affairs assisting GIRoA in reaching their goals in Governance and Transition.
Successful Combined Team engagements with Afghan women will have great potential to influence families/communities to not support the AAF, influence other women to get involved in local governance, and influence family and community members to support GIRoA.
Women, Peace and SecurityWay Ahead:
• Improve the involvement of women at all levels in the peace process and ensure women’s participation in the struggle of bringing Peace and Develompent to Afghanistan.
• Gender Perspectives in Operations should be planned, executed and evaluated in line with the operational objectives.
“Looking the other way makes you a part of the problem. Protecting the people not only requires protecting them from physical harm but also corruption and abuse of power”
