The Need for Continued Action: The WIIS Germany Statement on International Women's Day 2022

WIIS Germany has long been an institutional partner of the Munich Security Conference (MSC). In their 2022 International Women's Day Statement, Dr. Armgard von Reden reflects on the MSC's past attempts to increase gender parity in light of the photo of an all-male "CEO Lunch" that sparked media outrage for its lack of inclusivity. She vows to use WIIS Germany's platform to promote the increased participation of women at all levels of policymaking.
