The UN/NATO, Academia and Gender policies in peace operations – Velomahanina Tahinjanahary Razakamaharavo
Gender mainstreaming has become a flagship policy within UN and NATO peace operations. Feminist movements and the Security Council Resolution 1325 brought an impetus to gender equality and triggered the implementation of projects, programmes, initiatives or designs of National Action Plans all over the world. The UN and NATO work with various entities from the public and private sector, governments, think tanks and grassroots organisations to implement the Women as well as the Gender, Peace and Security agendas (WPS and GPS). Despite all of this, various research and reports have demonstrated that the implementation of these is lagging and in various areas failures can be noticed.
