The security crisis in Niger’s Tillabéri region is harming communities, especially women, who have little opportunity to speak out. A new report by the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) and the West Africa Network for Peacebuilding (WANEP-Niger) draws on the testimonies of 52 of these women. It highlights the effects of insecurity and presents recommendations that reflect the priorities of the women consulted.
This seminar presents the report’s findings for discussion among decision makers in Niger. It aims to contribute to the implementation of the women, peace and security agenda in the country.
This seminar is co-hosted by the ISS and WANEP-Niger and will be held in French.
Moderator: Fahiraman Rodrigue Koné, Senior Researcher, ISS Regional Office for West Africa, the Sahel and the Lake Chad Basin
Panelists:
- Ornella Moderan, ISS Consultant and co-author of the report
- Fatoumata Maïga, Research Officer and co-author of the report, ISS Regional Office for West Africa, the Sahel and the Lake Chad Basin
