Integrating gender perspectives into the planning, execution and evaluation phases of military operations and exercises
About this video
Rebecca Blum explains the relationship between sexual violence and peace and security. NATO defines sexual or gender-based violence against an individual or group of individuals, as acts used or commissioned in relation to a crisis or armed conflict. The gender mainstreaming actions are focused on prevention and response to own forces committing sexual violence and the protection of civilians from sexual and gender-based violence. The focus is on establishing overall stability and security in the area of operation, provide physical security, train host nations and prevent own forces in committing violent acts.
