Gender equality and the empowerment of women are at the heart of UNDP’s development mandate. First and foremost, gender equality is a matter of human rights. It is also a driver of development progress. Unless women and girls are able to fully realize their rights in all spheres of life, human development
will not be advanced.
With this Gender Equality Strategy 2014-2017, UNDP is well placed to ensure that gender equality and the empowerment of women are integrated into every aspect of its work to support countries to eradicate poverty and
reduce inequalities and exclusion.

The Participation Promise “Security Council Resolution 1325Dr Lendy Spires
The participation promise October 2010 marked the tenth anniversary of Security Council Resolution 1325 (‘SCR 1325’) on Women, Peace and Security. The previous ten years have delivered an agenda for action on SCR 1325. However, it is critical that the next ten are about creating real change for women and their conflict-affected communities. We need concrete action backed by resources and commitment at the international, national, and local levels to ensure the participation promise, made to women all over the world, is realised.
SCR 1325 is first and foremost about peace and security.The inclusion of women is rooted in the premise that their presence, participation and perspectives will improve the chances of attaining viable and sustainable peace. It is also based on the knowledge that if half the population faces discrimination and violence there can be no peace.2 Rebuilding after conflict provides a window of opportunity to transform the status quo. This requires recognition of the roles which women have played during the conflict (such as combatants, economic actors, leaders and peacemakers in their local communities) and post-conflict peacebuilding and recovery processes which include the needs, skills and experiences of women. Why does women’s participation matter?
The participation of women in peacemaking, peacekeeping and peacebuilding assures their experiences, priorities and solutions contribute to stability, inclusive governance and sustainable peace.” 3 A question of justice Women as a group make up half the world’s population and should be able to participate in decisions which affect their lives. This is enshrined in international human rights standards such as the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Different perspectives and priorities Women’s experiences of conflict and the aftermath of conflict frequently differ from those of men.

This document summarizes a report on delivering human security through multi-level governance. It discusses conceptualizing human security, assessing human security at the local level, the role of regional governance in promoting human security using the EU as a case study, and other regional experiences. The key conclusions are that human security encompasses freedom from fear and want, shifts the focus from states to individuals, and is context-specific. It requires actors at all levels of governance from local to global. Regional organizations like the EU and AU play an important role in aspects of human security within their regions. Local assessment of human security indicators can empower communities and improve governance.

All Things Being Equal, perspectives on disability in developmentJonathan Flower
This document discusses perspectives on disability and development. It notes that an estimated 600 million people worldwide have disabilities, yet disabled people are often invisible and excluded from society. While international agreements have established disabled people's rights, in reality many social barriers prevent them from fully participating in community activities. The document calls for a more inclusive approach to development that sees disabled people as active participants rather than helpless recipients, and ensures their rights to participate in decisions, access appropriate care, and be included in everyday community activities.
The United Nations (UN) was founded in 1945 to replace the League of Nations and promote international cooperation. It has six main administrative bodies: the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, International Court of Justice, Trusteeship Council, and Secretariat. The UN works to maintain peace and security, protect human rights, and cooperate on issues like health, development, and the environment through various specialized agencies. While the UN has had some successes, it also faces challenges in areas like terrorism, nuclear proliferation, and responding to humanitarian crises due to veto powers and members' unwillingness to intervene. Overall, the UN aims to prevent war and create conditions for global peace and prosperity.

Advancing Human Development for AdolescentsThejasvi Ramu
The document discusses the human development of adolescents, focusing on the international frameworks and roles of organizations like UNICEF. It notes that while children's rights are well established, there is a lack of framework specifically addressing adolescents between childhood and adulthood. UNICEF and other UN entities have created some policies and programs, but more is needed to fulfill the unique needs of adolescents. Civil society organizations also advocate for adolescents by addressing issues like health, education, employment and participation. Overall, the document argues that adolescents require distinct policies and approaches to support their development and rights during this transitional phase of life.

1. The essence of gender equality.
2. The terms: sex & gender.
3. The integration of gender equality .
4. The gender equality in the Armed Forces .
5. The importance of U.N. Security Council
Resolution 1325
6. The Bulgarian experience.
7. NATO and UNSCR 1325.
8. NATO committee on Gender perspectives.
9. The education of gender issues in the Bulgarian
military academies.
3. “The world of humanity has two wings -
one is women and the other men. Should one
wing remain weak, flight is impossible”
BAHA’I WRITINGS
“The equality of women and
men is not a condition whose
effects will be limited to half
of the world’s population. Its
operationalization will
revolutionize all facets of
human society.”
4. IMPLICATIONS FOR SOCIETY
The equality of women and men is a facet of human
reality and not just a condition to be achieved for the common
good. That which makes human beings human - their inherent
dignity and nobility - is neither male nor female. The search
for meaning, for purpose, for community; the capacity to
love, to create, to persevere, has no gender. This has profound
implications for the organization of every aspect of human
society.
5. GENDER EQUALITY = SEX EQUALITY = GENDER
EGALITARIANISM = SEXUAL EQUALITY =
EQUALITY OF THE GENDERS
This is the view that both men and women should receive
equal treatment and not be discriminated against based on their
gender. This is the objective of the United Nations Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, which seeks to create equality in law
and in social situations, such as in democratic activities and
securing equal pay for equal work.
A generic symbol for
gender equality
6. TERMS: SEX & GENDER
Sex - the biological differences between males and females.
These characteristics are constant and their differences are limited
to physical reproductive functions.
Gender - the social attributes associated with being male and
female learned through socialization and determines a person’s
position and value in a given context. These attributes,
opportunities and relationships are socially constructed and are
learned through socialization processes. They are dynamic,
changing over time and between cultures.
8. INTEGRATION OF GENDER EQUALITY
Equality between women and men is one of the
European Union's founding values. It goes back to 1957 when
the principle of equal pay for equal work became part of the
Treaty of Rome.
The European Union's achievements in fostering equality
between women and men have helped to change the lives of many
European citizens for the better. Although inequalities still exist,
the EU has made significant progress over the last decades. This
is mainly thanks to:
- equal treatment legislation;
-gender mainstreaming (integration of the
gender perspective into all other policies);
- specific measures for the advancement of women.
9. INTEGRATION OF GENDER EQUALITY
Integration of gender perspective: is a way of
assessing gender-based differences of women and men
reflected in their social roles and interactions, in the
distribution of power and the access of resources.
Gender equality: Women’s and men’s rights,
responsibilities and opportunities will not depend on
whether they are born female or male.
10. HOW TO APPLY THE INTEGRATION
OF GENDER EQUALITY
1. Gender inequality in the EU was tackled by 21 specific activities
over the consecutive 15 years, which was outlined in the 'Roadmap
for equality between men and women 2006-10' .
2. The European Commission presented its new priorities for
equality between women and men in the 21 September 2010, named
“Strategy for equality between women and men 2010-2015”
This strategy shall contribute to improving the place of
women in the labour market, in society and in decision-making
positions both in the European Union and the world.
11. GENDER EQUALITY IN THE ARMED
FORCES
Gender and diversity issues became subjects of
discussion quite recently as relevant to the armed
conflict. In 2000 the United Nations Security Council
adopted the Resolution (UNSCR) 1325, “Women,
Peace and security”
The Resolution “urges member
states to ensure increased representation of
women at all decision-making levels in
national, regional and international
institutions and mechanisms for the
prevention, management and resolution
conflict”.
12. WHAT IS U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION
1325 AND WHY IS IT SO CRITICAL TODAY?
In 2000, the United Nations Security Council
formally acknowledged through the creation of Resolution
1325 the changing nature of warfare, in which civilians are
increasingly targeted, and women continue to be excluded
from participation in peace processes.
UNSCR 1325 addresses not only the inordinate
impact of war on women, but also the main role women
should and do play in conflict management, conflict
resolution and sustainable peace.
13. Why do women need to be critical actors in peace building?
The experiences of men and women in war are different. In these
differences, women offer a vital perspective in the analysis of conflict
as well as providing strategies toward peacebuilding that focus on
creating ties across opposing factions and increasing the
inclusiveness, transparency, and sustainability of peace processes.
Why involve men in discussions about women in conflict
zones?
Men are too often left out of discussions about the targeted
victimization of women in conflict. Peacebuilding requires an
awareness of how men and women together can better contribute to
sustainable peace and security.

16. Why is Resolution 1325 important?
Resolution 1325 has changed the way the
international community thinks about peace and
security.
The importance of Resolution 1325 through its impact
on:
International Law;
Women's Empowerment;
Military;
Global Security.
17. The four pillars of Resolution 1325?
1. Why is PARTICIPATION important to Resolution 1325?
Resolution 1325 calls for increased participation of women at all levels of
decision-making, including in national, regional, and international
institutions.
2. Why is PROTECTION important to Resolution 1325?
Resolution 1325 calls specifically for the protection of women and girls
from sexual and gender-based violence, including in emergency and
humanitarian situations.
3. Why is PREVENTION important to Resolution 1325?
Resolution 1325 calls for improving intervention strategies in the
prevention of violence against women, including by prosecuting those
responsible for violations of international law.
4. Why is RELIEF AND RECOVERY important to Resolution 1325?
Resolution 1325 calls for advancement of relief and recovery measures to
address international crises through a gendered lens.
18. How is Resolution 1325 being implemented?
To 2010, 24 countries have developed
and launched NATIONAL ACTION PLANS:
Bosnia Herzegovina (2010) Belgium (2009) Côte d’Ivoire (2007)
Canada (2010) Chile (2009) Netherlands (2007)
Democratic Republic of Congo (2010) Liberia (2009) Spain (2007)
Estonia (2010) Portugal (2009) Switzerland (2007)
Nepal (2010) Finland (2008) Norway (2006)

Rwanda (2010) Uganda (2008) United Kingdom (2006)
Sierra Leone (2010) Austria (2007) Denmark (2005)
19. - Resolution 1889 - it calls for further
strengthening of women's participation in
peace processes and the development of
indicators to measure progress on Resolution
1325.
- Resolution 1820 – it explicitly links sexual
violence as a tactic of war with women
peace and security issues.
- Resolution 1888 - it mandates that
peacekeeping missions protect women and
children from sexual violence during armed
conflict, and requests that the Secretary-
General appoint a special representative on
sexual violence during armed conflict.

behavior: To develop materials
(manuals, lectures, promotional
materials, standards of conduct /
ethics, etc.) for the
implementation of Resolution
1325 in order to integrate the
Policy of equality at all levels of
the Armed Forces.
22. The Resolution 1325 recognises the disproportionate impact that
war and conflicts have on women and children, and highlights the fact that
women have been historically left out of peace processes and stabilisation
efforts.
The additional Resolutions (1820, 1888, 1889, 1960, 2106 and
2122) call for full and equal participation of women at all levels in issues
ranging from early conflict prevention to post-conflict reconstruction,
peace and security.
Together, they frame the Women, Peace and Security agenda!

23. HIGHLIGHTS:
NATO and its partners are committed to removing barriers for
women’s participation in the prevention, management and resolution
of conflicts and in peace-building.
They are also committed to reducing the risk of conflict-related and
gender-based violence.
To achieve these goals, NATO and its partners work with other
international organizations – in particular the United Nations – and
civil society.
NATO and UNSCR 1325
24. A new action plan for supporting the implementation of
UNSCR 1325 and related Resolutions was endorsed in June
2014. Like the policy, the action plan was developed by Allies
together with their EAPC partners, plus Afghanistan, Australia,
Japan, Jordan, New Zealand and the United Arab Emirates.
The plan also focuses on the same areas of intervention,
namely cooperative security, crisis management and NATO-led
operations and missions, and national contributions.
THE NATO ACTION PLAN
25. The NATO Committee on Gender Perspectives (NCGP)
advises NATO leadership and Member Nations on gender related
issues in order to enhance organizational effectiveness in support of
Alliance objectives and priorities, including the implementation of
relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs).
NATO COMMITTEE ON GENDER PERSPECTIVES
26. NATO is an equal opportunities employer committed to
valuing everyone as an individual. Gender balance and diversity
efforts have been mainstreamed in NATO Headquarters (HQ)
policies and practices since 2002. They aim at addressing issues such
as imbalance in gender, age and national representation in the
International Secretariat (IS) of NATO.

Gender equality is a human right. Women are entitled to live with dignity and with freedom from want and from fear. Gender equality is also a precondition for advancing development and reducing poverty: Empowered women contribute to the health and productivity of whole families and communities, and they improve prospects for the next generation.
Still, despite solid evidence demonstrating the centrality of women’s empowerment to reducing poverty, promoting development and addressing the world’s most urgent challenges, gender equality remains an unfulfilled promise.
For more than 30 years, UNFPA has advocated for women and girls, promoting legal and policy reforms and gender-sensitive data collection, and supporting initiatives that improve women's health and expand their choices in life.

Questions for reflection
How does discrimination against women limit the ability of men and boys to develop to their full potential? How does it impact the progress and well-being of society as a whole? How will progress towards equality transform various facets of human society: the development of intellectual life; the practice of governance; the allocation of material resources; the condition of the family?
“Sex defines the biological differences between males and females. These characteristics are constant and their differences are limited to physical reproductive functions”
The term sex refers to the biological sex, that, for example, females can give birth to children and males cannot.
“Gender refers to the social attributes associated with being male and female learned through socialization and determines a person’s position and value in a given context. This means also the relationships between women and men and girls and boys, as well as the relationships between women and those by men. These attributes, opportunities and relationships are socially constructed and are learned through socialization processes. Notably, gender does not equate to woman”
Bear in mind is that the concept of gender associated to each individual is a social construction and therefore varies from culture to culture and time to time. Characteristics which are perceived as female in one context or culture could be interpreted as masculine in others. Assumptions based on a person’s gender are often a stereotypes of the social conception of that gender, not based on the individual characteristics. This applies to both men and women.
Some languages don’t distinguish between sex/gender or He and She. However, the concepts exist in every nation and every culture.

We often see men as actors in a conflict, thereby neglecting that they can also be victims in time of war and conflict. For example with regard to sexual violence. In many societies it is still a taboo for male victims to talk about it and seek for help.
Often we unintentionally stereotype the roles of men and women in a society. We often think that women are only victims in war and conflict. Unfortunately women and children are amongst the most vulnerable in war and conflict, but they are not only victims. They are also important actors and can be powerful agents.
