JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM, Hawaii (AFNS) --

Pacific Air Forces hosted its first Women, Peace and Security symposium at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, March 29 – April 1.

The goal of the symposium was to meet Department of Defense objectives to exemplify women’s meaningful participation across the development, management, and employment of the joint force. Additionally, another long-term defense objective for WPS is to work alongside partner nations to ensure the safety, security and the protection of human rights among women and girls, especially during conflict and crisis.

“We’re committed to increasing participation of women in the security and defense apparatuses,” said Australian Army Brigadier Nerolie McDonald, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command vice director for intelligence and guest speaker during the symposium. “And we're committed to ensuring that the gender perspective is embraced within the defense and the defense culture.”

What did they discuss?  Advanced techniques in needlepoint?  How to live in fox holes and not break a finger nail?
