Power to act: Women shaping security and duty of care in crisis settings

Despite decades of commitments, women remain underrepresented in global security efforts. When women lead, missions are stronger, trust runs deeper, and peace lasts longer. As one of the largest SRH service providers in humanitarian settings globally, MSI’s gender-responsive and conflict-sensitive approach to duty of care focuses on our clients, staff, and the communities in which we operate. This session exploring two case studies from MSI's holistic and locally-led duty of care package, Papua New Guinea and Myanmar, on how they have built positive security cultures that protect our colleagues and our programmes.
