Women, Peace and Security
WPS research in the centre is focused on studying the role of women in peace processes in the region. While drawing on its roots in human security, research in the centre also focuses on emerging security threats such as climate change and gendered impacts of digital technology. Key events organised by the centre include the WPS national roundtable (closed-door) on Women in Peace Process: the Singapore Story in October 2024, and a conference on Cybersecurity and Information Technology in Peace-building. Publication includes the NTS Series: WPS in Climate Security.
