By BBN Staff: Alma Pinelo, a Lieutenant of the Belize Coast Guard (BCG) is attending the 2^nd annual seminar on military gender perspective which is being held in Washington, D.C. from March 7-9, 2017.

This year, the seminar is being held under the theme “Peace and Security from a Gender Perspective: A Political and Strategic Vision” and is organized by the Inter-American Defense College (IADC), and the National Academy of Political and Strategic Studies (ANEPE). The seminar aims to contribute to this effort based on the experience and commitment of both these institutions by promoting Resolution 1325 (UNSC), on Women, Peace and Security.

Pinelo will make representation on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, which includes the Belize Defence Force (BDF) and the Belize Coast Guard.

This is the second time that Belize has participated in this initiative. Last year, the event was held from March 7-11.
