Friends,
March 8 is International Women's Day, a day to pause and acknowledge the incredible contributions women make to our world. It's also a day to acknowledge the need for change. The world of nuclear disarmament is particularly fortunate to have some strong, formidable women at the helm.

The event below highlights some of these women leaders. Presented by the Basel Peace Office in Switzerland, Youth Fusion, and the Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament (PNND), the event is particularly special to us, as Global Security Institute is both a founding partner of the Basel Peace Office, and sponsor of PNND.

I hope you can join us.

Warm regards,
Jonathan Granoff
President, Global Security Institute
