PoC Week event: Where PoC and WPS meet
On 21 May 2025, on the sidelines of the UN annual debate on the Protection of Civilians, PAX co-organized the event: Where Protection of Civilians and Women, Peace and Security Meet.
The event brought together nearly 100 participants, aiming to highlight the legal obligations under IHL for gender-responsive protection, to explore the gendered dimensions of civilian harm, and to share best practices and lessons for mainstreaming WPS principles into PoC policies and operations.
Our own Saba Azeem (Project Lead PoC Iraq) was part of the event's expert panel.
