Evening debate: improving global cyber-governance

 

 The SDA (Security and defence agenda) invites you to its evening debate on Improving global cyber-governance. This debate will launch the SDA's ambitious global cyber-security study entitled The vexed question of global rules, based on conversations with cyber-security experts around the world. The report will take a hard look at the state of play in cyber-security and will provide public and private sector decision-makers with food for thought and recommendations for concrete next steps. The debate will focus on the current void in national and international governance of the cyber-security sector and will bring together senior experts from NATO, the EU, the US and the private sector to discuss the following questions: what existing legal precedents can be used in developing structures to regulate the brave new world of the Internet? In the current cacophony of national and international actors, who should take the lead? With attribution of attacks still so difficult, what sanctions for cyber-wrongdoers? Should different models be applied in the civilian and military cyber-worlds?

         Brigid Grauman, Independent journalist and report author

         Demosthenes Ikonomou, Head of Secure Services & Project Support Activities, European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA)

Raising Awareness of Children as Hidden Victims of Domestic Violence and Abuse in Europe

Whilst the devastating effects of domestic violence on women are well documented, far less is known about the impact on children who witness a person being subjected to violence. Research shows that children who are exposed to violence in the home may suffer a range of severe and lasting effects.

 

Violence in the home is one of the most pervasive human rights challenges of our time. It remains a largely hidden problem that few countries, communities or families openly confront. Seeking to address the problem, the European Commission is in its third phase of the Daphne Programme, aiming to prevent and combat all forms of violence towards children and women.

 

This timely International Symposium will analyse the existing challenges in shaping comprehensive and holistic strategies and toolkits for assessing, preventing and protecting children from violence and abuse in a domestic environment.

Equality in the Workplace: Zero Tolerance on Gender-Based Discrimination and Harassment in Europe

Equality between women and men is one of the fundamental principles of EU law, and furthermore, harassment is mentioned in the national legislation of seventeen European countries.

Nevertheless, gender-based discrimination is still prominent in many workplaces with harassment manifesting itself in many forms. Concern about the effects of workplace discrimination and harassment on the health and safety of workers has been growing over the last decade.

Public Policy Exchange continues its equality platform with a special international symposium on tackling gender-based discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange best practices with leading practitioners, international organisations and major stakeholders across Europe.
