Ploughshares Fund believes everyone deserves the right to a safe and secure future. For more than 36 years we have been working to reduce and eliminate nuclear weapons, to stop their spread and to reduce conflict in regions where nuclear weapons exist.
From the brink of a new arms race, to avoiding nuclear escalation with North Korea. From preventing a nuclear armed Iran, to stopping our own President from launching nuclear armageddon. These are just some of the nuclear problems we face today.
If we are to solve the world’s biggest problem, we must include more women and diverse perspectives.
GIVE TO THE WOMEN'S INITIATIVE
Conversations about nuclear weapons have historically been dominated by men and taken place behind closed doors, resulting in policies that represent a singular perspective. The problem is nuclear war, even on a limited scale, will impact everyone – men, women, children, and the planet for generations to come.
By introducing more women and diverse voices to the field of nuclear security and amplifying their influence, we can transform the way we understand this global issue and move together towards solutions that offer genuine peace and security.
Ploughshares Fund Women’s Initiative seeks to:
- Correct the longstanding gender and diversity imbalance in the nuclear field.
- Invite and position women firmly at the peace and security table.
- Amplify and expand the range of voices and perspectives addressing nuclear threats.
- Ultimately create more just, inclusive and peace-oriented national security and foreign policies.
