Achieving #genderequality in the #security sector is more than just policies and frameworks—it's about shifting mindsets, recognizing biases, and fostering committed leadership. At DCAF, we took a deep dive into this transformative journey by examining the impact of the Ministry of Defense’s Women in Defense programme in #Georgia, supported by UN Women and the UK Government. This video highlights the progress made by the Georgian Ministry of Defence and Defence Forces toward gender equality, showcasing how foundational changes are paving the way for lasting impact. 🎥 Watch the change story unfold: https://lnkd.in/dV8-XaAh

DCAF conducted a training programme for senior representatives of Ukrainian defence education institutions. The course marks a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to promote integrity and excellence within Ukraine's defence leadership. The training delved into the principles of ethical behaviour and explored frameworks that guide decision-making in complex defence environments. Participants engaged in scenario-based exercises to enhance their ability to navigate ethical dilemmas with confidence and clarity. This initiative is part of a strategic cooperation programme between DCAF and BITEC (Building Integrity Training and Educational Center under Ministry of Defence of Ukraine). Our joint efforts aim to ensure that ethical considerations are at the forefront of the strategic planning and operational execution of Ukraine's defence institutions. Prioritizing ethics helps build a defence sector that upholds the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. This is critical to maintaining national security and fostering international partnerships. Thanks to the course facilitators Grazvydas JASUTIS , George Lucas , Olena-Anna Chaban, Kristina Vezon (née Cernejute) and Rebecca Petra Mikova for sharing their perspectives. #ukraine #securitysector
