WIISWest is the US West Coast chapter of Women In International Security which is the premier global network of women and men dedicated to advancing the leadership and professional development of women in international peace and security. With more than 7,000 members in 47 countries, WIIS (pronounced “wise”) also supports research, analysis, and policy engagement on the critical nexus between gender and international security.
