Women, Peace, and Security in Africa
Channel: Africa Center for Strategic Studies
Date: 2022-06-15

Through gender mainstreaming, security actors can make sure that their institutions and personnel are consistently evaluating how their proposed policies and plans could affect men and women as well as boys and girls differently, and work to minimize negative consequences to everyone. Another important approach is to promote not only more balanced gender representation, but also the equal participation, of men and women in the institutions, strategy development sessions, oversight processes, and public consultations that relate to the security and defense sector.

• How do security challenges affect women and men differently in your country/region?
• What are the challenges to including gender perspectives in security strategy and policymaking?
• How can strategic leadership and security sector leaders improve gender sensitivity and gender mainstreaming in security sector?
• How can the U.S. and other partners support your country/region to improve gender mainstreaming in security sector?
