In global security operations, civilians can become unintended victims when bad actors take advantage of a situation to engage in exploitation, trafficking, and other illegal activities.Â
Without specific training and planning, it can be difficult for security teams to address these crimes quickly and decisively and can make long-term security more difficult to implement and sustain.
Escalating Conflict Requires Sustainable Security
The evolution of conflict underscores the need to identify security approaches that are sustainable and meet the unique needs of an entire affected population. Men, women, boys, girls, and gender minorities both affect and are affected by conflict and crises in different ways.Â
ÓÐÁϺÐ×ÓAPP’s Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) team ensures an inclusive, human-centered approach to tackling the complex security challenges the nation faces today. As adversaries and competitors continue to seek a strategic advantage through global recruitment and exploitation of diverse populations, the nation must work to identify, train, and empower the full scope of talent available to strengthen security institutions.Â
