Prepared by the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF), the United Nations International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (UN-INSTRAW) and the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), the Gender and Security Sector Reform Toolkit is an initial response to the need for more information and analysis on gender and SSR processes. It is designed to provide policymakers and practitioners with a practical introduction to why gender issues are important in SSR and what can be done to integrate them.
Security sector reform (SSR) opens a window of opportunity to transform security policies, institutions and programmes by integrating gender issues . Increasing the recruitment of female staff, preventing human rights violations and collaborating with women’s organisations, for example, contribute to creating a security sector that is effective, accountable and meets the needs of men, women, boys and girls.
Through comprehensive full-length Tools and shorter, more concrete Practice Notes, the Gender and Security Sector Reform Toolkit:
 |
- Sets out why gender is important to SSR processes
- Presents practical strategies to integrate gender into SSR
- Suggests gender-responsive SSR policy approaches
- Provides material from which to develop training on gender issues
- Compiles international laws and instruments related to SSR & gender.

This tool aims to introduce political and implementation actors to the need for a gender perspective in the conduct of defence reform activities. It therefore addresses both the technical aspects of defence reform, such as the conduct of defence review and recruitment policies, as well as more political level activities, such as civil oversight of the defence sector. Local ownership of SSR processes is widely acknowledged and advocated in current international discourse. National actors, located in government ministries, defence services, research institutions and civil society are therefore a target audience of the tool. The tool provides insight into defence reform processes and the manner in which women can be integrated into the armed forces and defence structures. It also highlights areas for advocacy and civil society mobilisation in the quest for democratically controlled armed forces. The tool includes:
- An introduction to defence reform
- The rationale for why integrating gender strengthens defence reform processes
- Practical actions to integrate gender into defence reform initiatives
- An overview of particular gender and defence reform issues in post-conflict, transitional, developing and developed country contexts
