Gender and Security
Description:
Gender considerations are a
fundamental part of addressing security and development issues worldwide. It is now an established fact that
projects that do not pay more than cursory attention to gender disparities
are liable to fail. Gender mainstreaming is the identification of the needs
of both women and men, and ensuring that those needs are addressed
in all components of the project cycle. This section offers a broad range of work that
integrates gender-specific issues into the seven other SAND issue arenas
