In humanitarian contexts, women and girls are often denied basic freedoms and rights, systematically excluded from decision-making mechanisms, and subjected to heightened insecurity and violence, despite being the first responders. This panel will discuss how women in crisis-affected contexts can take the lead in designing and implementing services and ways the humanitarian system can shift decision-making power, funding, and influence to local women actors.
Panelists:
Iffat Zafar Aga, Co-founder and COO, Sehat Kahani
Melissa Horn Albuja, Acting Division Chief, Protection and Community Capacities, U.S. Agency for International Development
Sanam Naraghi Anderlini, Founder, International Civil Society Action Network for Women, Peace and Security
Moderator: Caitlin Welsh, Director, CSIS Global Food Security Program
