Location: Graduate Center at the City University of New York

Event Date: June 6, 2005

Speakers: Donna Edwards, Charles Knight, Celinda Lake, Sarah Sewall, Marie Wilson

Moderator: Linda Basch

Points for Action:

• Expand the discourse of “security” to include notions of social and economic rights and development as well as human rights –in other words, “human security.”

• Train female candidates to develop an authoritative voice around human security agendas.

• Elect a richly diverse critical mass of women to leadership positions, up to and including the Presidency.
