Training sessions focus on several key themes, including the history, theoretical foundations and legal frameworks of the WPS agenda; analysis of its impact on the military and on peace and security at international, regional, and national levels; how the agenda is incorporated into ASEAN’s regional action plans, as well as approaches to empowering women in the military; and the role of the military in supporting commitments related to women, peace, and security.

At the same time, the participants are able to examine the relationship between the WPS agenda and the integration of women into the military, ways in which the military can support women’s empowerment, and how gender analysis tools can be applied in both institutional and operational contexts.

Lieutenant Colonel Paul Payne, Defense Attaché of Canada to Vietnam, said the participants should use the training as an opportunity to strengthen knowledge exchange, enhance women’s leadership in peace processes, and deepen cross-border and cross-sector cooperation. Thus, the agenda is promoted not only through words, but also through concrete actions, partnerships and sustained commitments.
