Further topics were Gender discrimination and equality in the Royal Thai Police, Police Women in the Practice of Community-Oriented Policing in the “new normal” and the International Association of Women Police Officers, underscoring the benefits of having a regional policewomen network to share and compare their respective policing experiences which affect the standing and furthering of careers of policewomen in Southeast Asia.

The participants concluded, that the role of policewomen in their respective organizations cannot be underrated, and conferences such as these continue to advocate the role of policewomen, their potential, and capacity to lead the organization. Among policewomen, from both a local and regional standpoint, conferences such as these allow for sharing of information and experiences wither through an informal or formal network.
