Gender parity and nuclear security

Although there is increasing recognition of the important role women play in the nuclear field, numerous barriers remain to an equal gender balance. This imbalance affects all aspects of the nuclear field, from engineering and science to nuclear security.
The NSCP is proud to present an international panel on the challenges and opportunities faced by women in the field of nuclear security, drawing on their experiences and advice on how organisations can increase the parity of roles in nuclear security. Speakers were Kateryna Bila (Ukraine), Nataliia Klos (State Niclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine), Shorena Lortkipanidze (Civil Council on Defense and Security), and Comfort Offornedu (Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps).
This webinar will include discussions on causes for inequality in the field, case studies and experiences of panel members in the field, practical steps women can take, and an overview of different regional efforts.
Please note: we experienced technical difficulties with two of our speakers, so their presentation has not been included here. Their contribution to the panel discussion is included here.
