Women in International Security Brussels

Mission & Goals

WIIS Brussels is about community building and networking, contributing expert views on foreign, security, and defence policies. We are dedicated to advancing the missing voices around the security table, women leadership, building trust and doing things differently, promoting compassion and offering a path towards greater self-reflection in approaching security. We create new pathways and offer safe spaces to discuss our differences off the record, training and inspiring the women leaders of tomorrow. We aim at leveraging the diversity of ideas that is necessary to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to global security challenges. We believe in paying more than lip-service to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and train accordingly. We lead from a place of transparency, authenticity, and respect. WIIS Brussels belongs to the global family of approximately 50 independent WIIS chapters around the world.
