Sławek Szefs reports that there is a sizeable group of women experts in these fields, but their voice is not heard enough and they have decidedly less influence on decision-making processes than their male colleagues.

"If women themselves do not engage more actively in public debate then even the best instruments which this organisation offers – such as mentoring, e-learning and all kinds of supportive mechanisms – will not enable us to extricate ourselves from the shadows and sidelines,” said Beata Górka-Winter, the director of Women in International Security Poland.
