DEMILITARIZING FOR GENDER EQUALITY
“Achieving gender equality requires examining root causes of inequality and finding ways to overcome them. One cause of inequality is militarism.

An overtly strong military presence creates insecurity. Thus, demilitarization and disarmament are essential components for achieving gender equality.”
