uh but uh the bottom line is that I
uh but uh the bottom line is that I
think<00:09:33.440> that<00:09:34.160> there<00:09:34.360> is<00:09:34.560> a<00:09:34.800> way<00:09:35.240> when<00:09:35.440> there<00:09:35.560> are
think that there is a way when there are
think that there is a way when there are
more<00:09:36.240> women<00:09:37.040> uh<00:09:37.240> at<00:09:37.360> the<00:09:37.560> table<00:09:38.240> that<00:09:38.399> there's
more women uh at the table that there's
more women uh at the table that there's
an<00:09:39.200> attempt<00:09:39.640> to<00:09:40.000> develop<00:09:40.440> some<00:09:41.079> understanding
an attempt to develop some understanding
an attempt to develop some understanding
so<00:09:41.839> for<00:09:42.000> instance<00:09:42.360> what<00:09:42.519> I<00:09:42.680> did<00:09:43.000> when<00:09:43.200> I<00:09:43.320> went
so for instance what I did when I went
so for instance what I did when I went
to<00:09:44.160> Burundi<00:09:45.160> uh<00:09:45.320> we<00:09:45.480> got<00:09:45.680> tosis<00:09:46.279> and<00:09:46.480> hu<00:09:46.959> women
to Burundi uh we got tosis and hu women
to Burundi uh we got tosis and hu women
together<00:09:47.800> to<00:09:48.040> talk<00:09:48.320> about<00:09:48.640> some<00:09:48.800> of<00:09:48.920> the
together to talk about some of the
together to talk about some of the
problems<00:09:49.680> that<00:09:49.839> had<00:09:50.160> taken<00:09:50.600> place<00:09:50.800> in<00:09:51.160> Rwanda
problems that had taken place in Rwanda
problems that had taken place in Rwanda
um<00:09:52.399> and<00:09:52.560> so<00:09:52.880> I<00:09:53.000> think<00:09:53.720> the<00:09:54.079> capability<00:09:55.000> of
um and so I think the capability of
um and so I think the capability of
women<00:09:55.680> to<00:09:55.920> put<00:09:56.320> themselves<00:09:56.760> I<00:09:56.839> think<00:09:56.959> we're
women to put themselves I think we're
women to put themselves I think we're
better<00:09:57.680> about<00:09:57.959> putting<00:09:58.240> ourselves<00:09:58.600> into<00:09:58.800> the
better about putting ourselves into the
better about putting ourselves into the
other<00:09:59.320> guy<00:09:59.519> shoes<00:10:00.079> and<00:10:00.600> having<00:10:00.959> more<00:10:01.279> empathy
other guy shoes and having more empathy
other guy shoes and having more empathy
I<00:10:02.200> think<00:10:02.360> it<00:10:02.600> helps<00:10:03.160> in<00:10:03.399> terms<00:10:03.760> of<00:10:04.320> the<00:10:04.560> support
I think it helps in terms of the support
I think it helps in terms of the support
if<00:10:05.200> there<00:10:05.320> are<00:10:05.480> other<00:10:05.720> women<00:10:06.000> in<00:10:06.120> the<00:10:06.279> room
if there are other women in the room
if there are other women in the room

the other thing that I think is really
the other thing that I think is really
important<00:11:00.040> a<00:11:00.240> lot<00:11:00.519> of<00:11:00.800> national<00:11:01.279> security
important a lot of national security
important a lot of national security
policy<00:11:02.320> isn't<00:11:02.720> just<00:11:02.959> about<00:11:03.279> foreign<00:11:03.800> policy
policy isn't just about foreign policy
