The world at the beginning of the 21st century is marked by growing crises – deepening disparities in wealth across the globe; the eruption of violence and terror in the name of ethnic, nationalistic, and religious identities and differences; the economic and social dislocation of whole populations; the increased trafficking of drugs, arms, and people – especially women and children.

Join researchers, activists, policy analysts, educators, funders, and the media to assess the global and national ramifications of these forces and the complex tensions they create, and to define an “architecture of interventions” to achieve greater human security for women, children, and men.
