For the safety of our guests and staff, USIP event formats are being considered on a case-by-case basis. Please, check this website for information on each event.

As a national, nonpartisan, independent Institute, the U.S. Institute of Peace draws on our exceptional convening power to create opportunities for diverse audiences to exchange knowledge, experiences, and ideas necessary for creative solutions to difficult challenges. We serve as an important, neutral platform for bringing together government and nongovernment, diplomacy, security, and development actors, and participants across political views. The Institute’s events help shape public policy and priorities to advance peaceful solutions to conflict and strengthen international security.

Religion and Gender in Extremist Violence: A Discussion with Human Rights Defenders

Religion and Gender in Extremist Violence: A Discussion with Human Rights Defenders

Date: Thursday, February 12, 2015 / Time: 8:30am - 10:00am 

Former President Jimmy Carter calls discrimination and violence against women and girls one of the most serious and pervasive -- yet ignored -- violations of human rights. Escalating violent religious extremism fuels this pattern. On Thursday, Feb. 12, the U.S. Institute of Peace and The Carter Center were pleased to host this event, which addressed ways in which human rights defenders in Libya and Iraq are working to build peace with particular attention to the role of religion and gender.
