Gender Associations works to improve capacities, policy development and action oriented research on gender, diversity, peace and security.
We believe that a crosscutting and complex area of work, such as gender, peace and security, requires high level technical expertise, diverse perspectives and critical self-reflection. Therefore, we work with a variety of national and international specialists from different cultural, academic and professional backgrounds.
Together with our colleagues on the ground, we work to advance the implementation of the WPS agenda and to ensure that efforts to realize gender equality, human rights, peace and human security lead to sustainable peace. So far our > WORK has covered 22 countries from different geographic regions.
