This project aims to facilitate more inclusive and stable societies through gender-responsive approaches to conventional arms control policy and programming. Project activities include: (1) hosting two conferences centred on increasing the participation of women in conventional disarmament and arms control (including in the development and implementation of effective arms control instruments); (2) developing a handbook for policymakers and diplomats working on integrating a gender perspective into the arms control agenda; and (3) establishing three databases with updated information on lethal violence, transparency in conventional arms trade, and unplanned explosions at munition sites, and making the databases available to arms control policymakers and project or program planners and implementers worldwide.
