Gender and Leadership: Practising Inclusivity in Peace and Security

This video is part of a joint project by the Quaker Council for European Affairs (QCEA) and Newcastle University on gender and inclusivity in peace and security. It is funded by the Economic and Social Sciences Research Council (ESRC) Impact Acceleration Account Transition 2019: Newcastle University (ES/T501827/1),
Twenty years after the UN Resolution 1325, and nine further WPS resolutions, this project addresses some of the remaining practical challenges to achieving the integration of gender perspectives into the work of peace and security institutions at both an organisational and operational level.
Specifically -
• an understanding of why gender and inclusivity matter for peace and security which is transformative, rather than reformative;
• an inclusive approach to leadership on gender issues which acknowledges and meaningfully includes a myriad of actors from the local level upwards, including women and women's organisations;
• and for individuals working within peace and security organisations to realise this change, a central challenge remains overcoming the structural but also personal resistance they face.
The videos accompany a best practice guide to Gender & Inclusivity in Peace and Security available for download on the project website: www.qcea.org/gender
