During a side event at the BMS4, entitled "Gender and the PoA" including all voices," which was organised by the UNODA Regional Disarmament Branch, the Government of Norway and IANSA, especially the IANSA's Women's Network an update of the 2006 UN CASA guidelines was released. The updated guidelines take into account new developments, progress made and lessons learnt in the implementation of the PoA, as well as in the area of gender mainstreaming in peace and security. The current document also benefits from a wide array of field-based experience and knowledge.
With these guidelines, UNODA/RDB and IANSA want to contribute further to the understanding of the significance of the different roles played by men, women, boys and girls both as part of the SALW proliferation problem and in finding solutions to it, and therefore, of the significance of mainstreaming gender perspectives for the effective implementation of the PoA.
The guidelines have thus been developed as a user-friendly resource that will help practitioners identify concrete ways of mainstreaming gender perspectives in all relevant initiatives and operations, and at all stages, from information gathering and planning to implementation, monitoring and evaluation, in the process of effective implementation of the PoA.
The guidelines are available on Best Practices through the Advanced Search for "Gender and Children"File Attachment(s):
