EATA hosts Women, Peace and Security International Conference 2023

The Estonian Atlantic Treaty Association (EATA) hosted an annual International conference on “Women, Peace and Security” on Friday, October 13, 2023. The event aimed to acknowledge women’s role in Ukraine and Global conflicts.

The Conference has been taking place in Tallinn since 2012 to introduce and review UN Security Council Resolution 1325, its impact on women in conflict, the valuable role women play in resolving conflict, and the overall work of women peacekeepers in a global and national security framework.

This year’s Conference focused on Women, Peace and Security in Ukraine and included panel discussions from international and Baltic perspectives. Even though much progress has been made on women’s involvement in conflict resolution, much work remains.

Governments and civil society in the Baltics need to cooperate and leverage their solid social cohesion to continue providing comprehensive gender-based support to Ukraine.
