As a crosscutting theme , gender mainstreaming and , more broadly , gender-related programming continue to figure prominently in the Institute 's curriculum , particularly in the fields of peace , security and diplomacy . Building on an existing array of training activities , including e-learning peacekeeping topics ( e.g . protection from sexual harassment , violence and abuse ) , UNITAR has scaled up its work to include specialized training in New York to build capacity for women to negotiate peace agreements and the development of an online discussion platform on women in diplomacy , in cooperation with the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women ( UN-Women ) and other partners .
