| | The Unit for Protection and Security of the Citizen, attached to the Joint Research Centre, which is attached to the European Commission - a mouthful to designate a group that develops new satellite imaging technology for civilian monitoring and surveillance - convened a workshop on gender and security on 8 March, International Women's Day. With Lake Maggiore sparkling in the foreground and the snow-capped Alps looming as a dramatic backdrop, a group of 50 scientists, mostly women, grappled with new definitions of security that could appreciate the concerns of women as well as men. |
