More than 250 activists, academics, policy-makers, and organizational and religious leaders from over 20 countries gathered at Women’s Learning Partnership’s humansecurity conference, “Clash or Consensus: Gender and Human Security in a Globalized World” on October 8-9, 2003, in Washington DC. Organized in collaboration with the Global Fund for Women, the conference provided a forum for women leaders and human security experts from the Global South– particularly from Muslim societies– to explore ways to discuss and define human security goals and challenges from a perspective that is people-centered.
