Mission statement:	The Institute for Inclusive Security is a program of Hunt Alternatives. Inclusive Security’s bold goal is to change the international security paradigm. Just and lasting peace is possible only when policy shapers include women and other key stakeholders in the prevention and transformation of violent conflict. Guided by this belief and vision, The Institute for Inclusive Security is revolutionizing who makes decisions about war and peace. Inclusive Security supports women’s leadership as an essential tool to prevent violence, stop war, and restore communities after deadly conflicts. The organization works to do this by: 1. Strengthening the will and capacity of those who shape peace and security policy; 2. Providing research on why inclusion matters and guidance on how it can be achieved; and 3. Equipping women to contribute effectively to peace processes and build coalitions of diverse leaders who offer practical solutions to intractable conflicts.
