Mosaic Hosts "2014 Citizen Summit on Women & Armed Conflict"
On Saturday, November 15, the Mosaic Institute hosted its 2014 Citizen Summit on Women & Armed Conflict, a day-long student conference exploring a myraid of issues relating to the particular ways in which armed conflicts impact women and girls, and what they are doing about it. The event featured a stellar line-up of distinguished speakers on such topics as gender-based violence in wartime, diaspora women confronting conflict, and the perspectives of women in combat roles. The day also featured a special focus on Canada's missing and murdered aboriginal women in order to emphasize that confronting systemic violence against women and girls - like conflict itself - is a truly global challenge.
