Women have always led the conversation about militarization and it\u2019s important that we are able to articulate it when we speak with local, regional, and leaders from around the world,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>Babauta\u2019s presentation begins at 8:45am and she will host one of the afternoon breakout sessions with her interns, Trini Iguel and Imaculada Litulumar, who will help the groups identify targets and objectives. <\/p>\n<p>The Women\u2019s Summit on Saipan comes on the tail of Babauta\u2019s recent speaking engagement at the Future of Micronesia \u2013 Strategies for Resilience and Sustainability Conference when she shared her reflections from the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Glasgow, Scotland, where she delivered remarks and introduced former United States President Barack Obama. <\/p>\n<p>The two-hour webinar was hosted and curated by Indigenous Pacific Islands Knowledge Universe through an academic partnership with the University of Pittsburgh. <\/p>\n<p>For more information about registration or participation, contact Commonwealth Women\u2019s Association acting administrator Dorina Ogumoro-Iginoef (670) 233-8978 or email cwa.doiginoef@gmail.com. <strong>(PR)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
