Скачать или смотреть Women, Peace and Security - Panel at PRNSC 2025

Around the Pacific, women often hold key roles as peacebuilders, human rights defenders, and advocates for safe and secure communities. Their contribution to peace and security is significant, just as it is diverse, creative and enduring.

This panel from the 2025 Pacific Regional and National Security Conference discusses some of the ways Pacific women are supporting peacebuilding and security efforts and what Pacific governments are doing to support inclusive and peaceful societies.

The panel also considers persistent challenges that undermine women’s security in the Pacific and grapple with ideas of how to progress change. While the women, peace and security agenda has made many strides over the years, further work is required to ensure all women and girls of the Pacific can claim their right to peaceful societies.

Panellists:

Mrs Litea Seruiratu, retired Colonel, Republic of Fiji Military Forces

Deputy Commissioner Ms Papāli‘i Monalisa Tia‘i-Keti, Samoa Police Service

Acting Deputy Commissioner Mrs Jill Rogers, New Zealand Police

Ms Shamima Ali, Coordinator, Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre

Moderator:

Ms Anna Naupa, PhD scholar, Australian National University; former Associate Director, Pacific Fusion Centre
