UD professor makes case to NATO delegates: Bring women into peace process
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A University of Dayton professor took to the NATO stage Saturday to start a conversation with delegates from multiple countries on the topic of women, peace and security. Dr. Natalie Hudson, a UD political science professor and the executive director of the Human Rights Center, wanted to send the message that when women are included in the process of finding peace, results follow. 'I had questions from everyone from Denmark to Turkey to the European Parliament had representation there,' said Hudson. 'So I appreciated the range of perspectives and the questions.' More coverage of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly 2025 Spring Session She focused on three pillars: participation, prevention and protection. Research shows that 2022 was one of the most violent years in history, specifically toward women, which impacted overall growth. 'Maternal mortality rates. Sexual and gender-based violence. Loss of livelihoods. Other sorts of really negative indicators that just further prevent gender equality and recovery efforts.' Hudson hopes that her message starts a conversation between delegates. 'I hope they take an awareness of the many studies and bodies of scholarship that show us where women are included in militaries, where women are involved in peace processes, where women are involved in the protection of civilians, where women are involved in prevention: We do it better.' And she hopes that this sends another avenue towards a common theme during NATO Week: peace. 'This is not an ideology,' she said. 'This is not that women are better than men. It's like if we include the other 50% of the populations that we're working for, we actually do a better job.' Hudson hopes the delegates take the information they learned from this panel and continue the conversation when they return to their home countries. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
