Description

Established in 1987, Women In International Security (WIIS) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to increasing the influence of women in the fields of foreign and defense affairs by raising their numbers and visibility, while enhancing dialogue about international security issues. WIIS members include policymakers, educators, military personnel, diplomats, legislative aides, researchers, journalists, business executives, lobbyists, students, and others. Members in over 47 countries work on and are interested in diverse issues affecting international security, ranging from nonproliferation and arms control, to terrorism, human rights, sustainable development, environmental security, and conflict resolution.

WIIS is part of the Center for Peace and Security Studies (CPASS) in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University. CPASS, which also encompasses the internationally recognized Security Studies Program, is Georgetown's organizational home for teaching, research, events, and publications in international peace and security studies. Founded in 1919, the School of Foreign Service is the oldest and largest school of international affairs in the U.S.
