There is an increasing awareness of insufficient diversity in the voices contributing to important conversations and policy debates in our field. Despite this, female researchers and practitioners, as well as those from minority communities, too often remain overlooked and the same voices continue to dominate discussion across many areas of defence and security. REDS seeks to be part of the solution to this challenge. |
REDS is part of RUSI’s commitments under the Gender Champions in Nuclear Policy (GCNP) initiative.

Past events29 Sep 2020: Rethinking UK Security PolicyThis event focused on better understanding what security means in the context of UK policy, how UK policy can become more inclusive, and will draw on examples from both the UK and elsewhere as to how the UK might improve its security policy to take these considerations into account.
