The network includes more than 80 Canadian non-governmental organizations and individuals committed to promoting and monitoring Canadian government efforts to implement and support the UN Security Council resolutions on women, peace and security; and providing a forum for exchange and action by Canadian civil society on issues related to women, peace and security.
For more than 25 years, Beth has advised and worked with bilateral aid agencies, UN entities and NGOs, strengthening their work on gender equality and women’s rights in numerous countries (including Ukraine, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Honduras, Bolivia, and Nicaragua).
She has developed analytical tools, supported policy development, designed training, provided technical support, and conducted evaluations. Beth has also carried out research, blogged, lobbied, testified before Parliament, and led initiatives on WPS.
