Proud of Dr. Fabiana S. Perera as she breaks barriers being a female professional in the DOD! Nothing is impossible! #WomenPeaceandSecurity
Meet Dr. Fabiana: “I remember when I experienced my first coup. I was nine years old. It helped me put in perspective how important it is to have your voice heard through elections and peaceful participation – if you’re lucky enough to live in a democracy.” #HumanRightsAtHome
