Dr. Thomas Greminger
Director,
Geneva Center for Security Policy
The global challenges we face demand international cooperation and creativity stemming from our diversity to build resilient societies and sustainable peace and security for all. When women are missing from decision-making and their rights are neglected or abused, we as leaders need to question the systems and structures which have contributed to exclusion, discrimination and harm, and work to develop a more inclusive and responsive global governance system. We recognise that this starts with our mindsets and extends to a critical evaluation of all our policies and programmes, behaviours and practices.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
Co-lead the Impact Group on Women Peace and Security with a focus on: sharing evidence and policy relevant insights at a time of increasing militarisation; highlighting the connections between WPS and human rights and humanitarian action within Geneva; and strengthening exchanges with other multi-lateral hubs
Strengthen our GCSP culture by initiating a series with the senior management team called 'A Day in the Life of....' to share different approaches to work and wellbeing and, together with the Inclusion and Wellbeing Working Group, develop guidance around effective shared practices across the organisation as well as staff trainings and exchanges to bring them to life.
