Women In International Security Wiis

Through its training modules, audits, and gender assessment tool, the wiis women in defense & security program supports security organizations and u.s. Partner nations in assessing progress in implementing the women, peace, and security agenda to advance gender equality and women's leadership in the security sector. Since 2013, the program's combat integration initiative has monitored, evaluated, and published data on women's full integration into u.s. Military combat operations.

The membership engagement program serves the needs of wiis' growing global constituency of institutional and individual members, enhancing their ability to address the global gender gap and thrive in their careers in the peace and security sector.

Local and national conflicts escape borders, threatening regional stability. Wiis' long-standing engagement with regional and multilateral security organizations on issues of gender equality and security show how gender integration into security institutions and practices can produce more effective responses to collective security challenges.
