Problem

War and state violence destroy women's lives worldwide. Policies that aggravate military conflicts have devastating consequences for women and their families. Women of color are negatively impacted by militarism as armed services personnel or as family members of servicemen and women. Militarism affects women in communities targeted by the war on terrorism and women who rely on programs threatened by inflated military budgets. Women's personal security is undermined by a culture of aggression and violence
