The Other 50% Women have unique power bases, networks, and lines of influence within the cross-sections of their communities. Yet, the female perspective and influence are often under-represented in planning and executing decision-making. Recognizing and understanding women s role as sympathizers or support to combatants has been elusive to those developing effective political and conflict strategies. Despite both passive and active involvement, women are often the last to be included within the counter-terror and security dialogue, opportunity is lost in fulfilling campaign objectives meant to have positive impact. HGI with our highly skilled members and innovative solutions aims to improve on the lack of consideration of the role of women, not only within high risk conflict and grey zones but within the planning of missions, allocation of funding, and development of overall counter terrorism strategy. The Other 50% refers to a unique information gathering and analysis mechanism that capitalizes on nuanced and perspective through a different lens. On the continuum of time this solution focuses primarily left of crisis or at phase zero. The voice and perspective of the other side of the equation can have game-changing impact on policies and actions. In the context of a counter terrorism strategy, western society sees these women and girls as passive victims, however what goes unrecognized is their role as active participants. This lack of understanding has been deceptive to those developing effective counter strategies, often missing the role women play in support of and within insurgency and terrorist organizations. In addition, their direct role as combatants is often over looked. This has significant risk to those developing mission sets of countering insurgency as the intelligence provided can often be incomplete. An inability to know the enemy equates to an inability to effectively subdue and defeat the enemy. A strategy to counter this threat should include an understanding of the complete environment, a full and concise picture of the environment. HGI employs and engages with the Other 50% by deploying diverse teams of subject matter experts with executive, field, and development experience.

Beyond Kevlar Rarely are women called upon during the most critical phases of military operations to work with military planners to give that added perspective of the Other 50%. Our enemy has capitalized on the use of women in carrying out acts of terror around the world. An effective counter-terror strategy involves understanding the enemy, not only their tactics but their mind set and perspective. Our team brings a new methodology that implements an enhanced form of credentials and field experience, but also an outreach network that is second-tonone. These networks encompass private industry, financial institutions, public health, non-governmental organizations, U.S. and foreign government agencies and departments, and the best academic institutions in the world. Stop looking at us as victims but instead look at us as the powerful agents we are!
