The GAPS Network Responds to UK Deprioritisation of Gender - Statement from GAPS Network Members on the UK Government’s Deprioritisation of Gender Equality in Aid Spending Members of the GAPS Network have issued a joint statement expressing deep concern at the UK Government’s deprioritisation of gender equality and the rights of women and girls as a standalone focus in its Official Development Assistance (ODA). This marks a significant and damaging shift in UK foreign policy - at a time of rising global conflict, anti-gender movements, and increasing risks to women and girls. The GAPS Network urges the UK Government to urgently reverse this decision, reinstate gender equality as a core aid priority, and protect dedicated funding for women and girls.

Although it was established 25 years ago, many of the challenges identified in 1995 remain relevant today. This report both tracks progress against these long-standing challenges and goes beyond them to assess new challenges that have emerged in recent years, including those brought by digitalisation, recent migration flows and a mounting backlash against gender equality. Much of this review also reflects on the progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by all UN Member States in 2015. This review is formed of three chapters. The first chapter provides an assessment of institutional developments related to gender equality at EU level. The second chapter analyses major trends and developments in the 12 areas of concern of the Beijing Platform for Action at EU and national levels. The final chapter provides practical recommendations for action to address key gender equality challenges identified in the previous analysis.

First, this paper examines the work of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women on this issue. Second, it recommends important guidelines for creating a binding international instrument that will contribute to protecting women. Third, it explores the processes used to create two recent treaties and how those lessons might be applied to a treaty on violence against women. Fourth, it compares the alternative of a free-standing treaty to a new optional protocol to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) as the preferable mechanism to effectively combat violence against women.

The primary argument is that in contexts of serious and massive human rights violations, sustainable peace and development will be more attainable if societies effectively pursue justice for those violations. Transitional justice provides a framework for addressing the needs of victims and helping to reduce the “justice gap”—that is, the failure to provide justice to people and communities outside the protection of the law—in such extraordinary circumstances.

Gender-based violence and environment linkages: The violence of inequality consolidates knowledge and experiences gathered from across sectors and spheres, serving as a robust reference for policymakers and practitioners at all levels to understand issues and potential interventions to address gender-based violence as it relates to the environment. Over 1,000 sources of information, experiences,the and interventions from international stakeholders, national governments, civil society, environmental practitioners and policymakers, advocates and activists, and academics relating to gender-based violence across environmental contexts from around the world were reviewed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061823209-Y5UXL5N7CEY8G8UBRG17/BC-summary-cover.png GAPS Resources - GAPS Newsletter: January 2020 - Beyond Consultations: Research Summary The Beyond Consultations tool is the culmination of a participatory research study with 225 individuals and organisations from 15 countries, looking at the factors that enable and constrain the meaningful participation and ongoing engagement with women and women’s organisations in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS). The good practice framework set out in the Beyond Consultations tool was informed by the voices and insights of women in FCAS. These were gathered through an extensive, participatory research study which comprised an online survey, key informant interviews (KIIs), and focus group discussions (FGDs) with women, women’s organisations, international NGOs, academics, governments, and multilateral organisations.

This report highlights some of the links between gender-based violence and key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to show where gender-based violence prevention and response needs to be integrated across sectors to address the double disadvantage faced by women and girls in crisis. Reducing gender inequality – of which gender-based violence is one of the most appalling manifestations – is integral to the achievement of the SDGs and the 'Leave No One Behind' agenda. Women’s equality and empowerment is therefore the focus of SDG 5 – ‘Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls’ – and also reflected in the other 16 goals. In order to eliminate gender-based violence and achieve SDG 5, the report advocates for a feminist approach to all of the SDGs that is inclusive of crisis populations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061820509-6XKCL35QG4QAA0KNN1D3/Plan-Report.png GAPS Resources - GAPS Newsletter: December 2019 - The Trafficking of Girls and Young Women: Evidence for Prevention and Assistance This month, GAPS member Plan International UK released their latest report on 'The Trafficking of Girls and Young Women: Evidence for Prevention and Assistance'. This research describes the migration and trafficking trajectories of girls and young women from Nigeria, Nepal and Uganda. It provides a snapshot of the realities faced by this group, which is not often studied. The report is intended to stimulate discussion and inform efforts to address human trafficking through survivor-centred gender-and-age-sensitive approaches. This research presents original data collected by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) on the trafficking of girls and young women up to the age of 24 in Nigeria, Nepal and Uganda. This report focuses on the trafficking of girls and young women to call attention to the gender disparities and inequalities that affect their access to resources and their agency before, during and after their migration experiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061819309-1BNLV1LDIOX8REAPLE5Y/Amnesty-Report.png GAPS Resources - GAPS Newsletter: December 2019 - Challenging Power, Fighting Discrimination: Call to Recognize & Protect Women Human Rights Defenders Amnesty International recently published 'Challenging Power, Fighting Discrimination: Call to Recognize & Protect Women Human Rights Defenders' which summaries the key challenges affecting women human rights defenders (WHRDs) that Amnesty International has documented globally in recent years and includes input collected through interviews conducted with 23 WHRDs from 21 countries in all continents between February and April 2019. All those interviewed insisted that more action is urgently needed so that they can continue with their critical human rights work in an environment free from violence, intimidation and harassment. The report ends with a series of recommendations that need to be urgently implemented in particular by states, who bear the main responsibility in ensuring a safe and enabling environment for WHRDs, but powerful non-state actors such as business and community leaders, as well as donors, financial institutions and intergovernmental bodies also need to take proactive steps to address the situation of violence, inequality, discrimination and exclusion faced by WHRDs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061820013-KD4FF16MAEB180VA2I5P/OSCE-Toolkit.png GAPS Resources - GAPS Newsletter: December 2019 - Inclusion of Women & Effective Peace Processes – OSCE Toolkit The Organization for Security & Co-Operation in Europe (OSCE) launched a new toolkit focusing on the Inclusion of Women and Effective Peace Processes at the 26th Ministerial Council in Bratislava. This toolkit makes actionable proposals for OSCE mediation actors, the Chairmanship, participating States, and Executive Structures on how to increase women’s inclusion in official negotiation processes in the OSCE area. The lack of women’s meaningful participation in peace processes remains a major challenge in global efforts to resolve violent conflict. By including women’s perspectives in conflict resolution efforts, the diverse needs of affected societies can be better addressed, thereby reducing the likelihood of relapse into conflict. The toolkit responds to the need for practicable measures to increase women’s inclusion in peace processes in the OSCE area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061820206-OOWUXFWR5SW0EVRO3W6X/ODI-Report.png GAPS Resources - GAPS Newsletter: December 2019 - Gender in displacement: the state of play The Overseas Development Institute's (ODI) new paper interweaves two streams of thought: how gender roles change in the course of crises, particularly displacement, and how gender has been integrated (or not) into humanitarian programming. Despite the plethora of policies that have been written and conferences convened over the past four decades, the humanitarian sector has not yet figured out how to integrate gender in a systematic or effective way, nor has it taken on board the evidence regarding how gender roles change in displacement. The paper begins by exploring existing knowledge on the impact of displacement on gender roles, norms and power dynamics. It then details the international humanitarian system’s efforts to incorporate gender into its policy and practice, before investigating the deliberate and inadvertent effects of humanitarian action on gender roles among populations in crisis. Finally, it examines the challenges emerging from the existing literature and critically assesses the state of play for the humanitarian sector’s commitment to gender justice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061820707-VS0NV6QYV7G1NWAQDO9K/Sanaa-Report.png GAPS Resources - GAPS Newsletter: December 2019 - A Gendered Crisis: Understanding the Experiences of Yemen’s War This report by the Sana'a Center for Strategic Studies explores how gender norms have shaped Yemenis’ experience of conflict, and how conflict is reshaping gender norms in Yemen. Few Yemenis have been spared the catastrophic impact of the Yemen War, but prevailing gender norms mean women and girls, and men and boys, have experienced the conflict differently. The report is based on qualitative research, including 88 focus group discussions conducted across Yemen from November 2018 to February 2019, 49 key informant interviews, six case studies and a literature review. The focus group discussions included 674 participants in eight districts representing different political and socio-economic contexts — near and far from the fighting and on both sides of the frontlines. These were: Al-Sabeen and Bani Harith in Amanat al-Asimah, Sana’a city; Mukalla and Sayoun in Hadramawt governorate; Sheikh Othman and Seera in Aden governorate; and AlShamayatan and Al-Qahira in Taiz governorate. Focus group discussion participants and key informants in all areas perceived that financial strain has pressed women into the workforce, severely impacted boys and girls in terms of access to education and vulnerability to gender-based violence, and driven a rise in multiple forms of gender-based violence.

The Research to Action tool provides a step-by-step process for practitioners and policymakers to better understand and use data generated by violence against women and girls research activities. This was developed by the What Works to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls programme, funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) which has invested £25 million over five years to develop new evidence on ‘what works’ to prevent violence against women and girls. Through this programme, the George Washington University’s Global Women’s Institute (GWI) and International Rescue Committee (IRC) have focused on developing new evidence to address gaps in understanding of violence against women and girls during conflict and humanitarian crises, including implementing a landmark population-based study on the prevalence, forms and drivers of violence against women and girls in conflict-affected South Sudan. https://www.gaps-uk.org/gaps-resources/gaps-is-hiring-a-policy-advocacy-and-communications-coordinator-2019 monthly 0.5 2026-02-11 https://www.gaps-uk.org/gaps-resources/gaps-newsletter-november-2019 monthly 0.5 2026-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061815011-S9DB0HUHMGEJWA673XBY/Capture.png GAPS Resources - GAPS Newsletter: November 2019 - Combating Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in Refugee crises Ceasefire Centre for Civilian Rights and Asuda joined on a two-year programme on sexual and gender-based violence among Syrian refugees in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, in which they surveyed Syrian refugees in the governorates of Erbil, Dohuk and Suleymania in Iraqi Kurdistan.

They have drawn from recognised data sources to rank 167 countries on women’s comprehensive well-being and analysed trends in women’s equality. The findings show that nearly 60 countries have significantly advanced women’s well-being in recent years, and that the most marked gains for women worldwide were in financial inclusion, access to education, and legal reforms—including in some conflict-affected states. However, progress for Women, Peace and Security overall has remained slow and uneven. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061810211-JS872NPCLPCX48WOXULF/AWID-Report.png GAPS Resources - GAPS Newsletter: October 2019 - Toward A Feminist Funding Ecosystem - AWID Report Toward A Feminist Funding Ecosystem is both a framework and a practical guide for funders and activists who believe that there is a possibility to move toward a balanced ecosystem in which: feminist movements – particularly in the Global South – are at the centre and equal partners in the political project for global gender justice.

Despite increasing conversations on investing in women and girls, historically, the sector has received a fraction as a percentage of overall funding. The report explores the funding approaches that shape investment in this area, and the challenges that may be preventing the rhetoric of support for women and girls from becoming a reality. By also consulting women’s organisations, the research reveals the alignments and gaps between the priorities and perspectives of funders and grantees. It demonstrates how more open communication can build mutual trust, encourage stronger partnerships, and enable more effective work to improve the lives of women and girls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061805708-DHFXLHFLA8TWGE1SFVX4/WILPFHLPF.jpg GAPS Resources - GAPS newsletter: August 2019 - WILPF's Feminist Analysis of the 2019 HLPF on Sustainable Development Read the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom's feminist analysis of the 2019 High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.

Structural issues such as tax justice and plugging of illicit financial flows, arms control and disarmament regulation to prevent exports of violence, and regulation to address the climate crisis remained limited. We need to raise the bar on sustainable development to strengthen women’s participation, protection, and rights across the conflict spectrum.

Despite being nearly 20 years since the passage of UNSCR 1325, women remain on the outside of peace and security decision-making. World Pulse, Our Secure Future, and the Women's Alliance for Security Leadership – ICAN collected women’s voices to shed light on what peace and security mean to those who are most immediately impacted by it. This report shares ways women are redefining security by highlighting their security concerns and priorities, their accounts of how violence affects their lives, and their recommendations for including more women in security efforts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061804910-WCLLAW2157FC9EFW31HT/EM2030report.jpg GAPS Resources - GAPS newsletter: August 2019 - Harnessing the Power of Data for Gender Equality Equal Measures 2030 has launched the 2019 SDG Gender Index, The SDG Gender Index is a tool for girls' and women's movements and champions from all sectors to ensure that governments live up to the gender equality promises laid out in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The index finds that, with just 11 years to go until 2030, nearly 40% of the world's girls and women – 1.4 billion – live in countries failing on gender equality. Another 1.4 billion live in countries that “barely pass”. Even the highest scoring countries have more to do, particularly on complex issues such as climate change, gender budgeting and public services, equal representation in powerful positions, gender pay gaps, and addressing gender-based violence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061805825-8TWSRZZOKO06OUD1BOHU/UNASDGs.jpg GAPS Resources - GAPS newsletter: August 2019 - Sustainable Development Goals: Transforming Our World Read UNA-UK's latest report, investigating the implementation of the SDGs and their stated ambition to leave no one behind.

The report is the result of extensive discussions at a workshop organised by the LSE Middle East Centre in Jordan in September 2018 with national and international experts. The workshop focused on the gendered impacts of displacement and how the Women, Peace and Security agenda can be used to address the issue of conflict-related displacement better. The discussions highlighted that the Middle East’s existing National Action Plans to implement the Women, Peace and Security agenda remain limited in addressing conflict-related displacement and its long-term gendered implications. This report offers insights and provides recommendations to support responses to displacement to be gender-sensitive, and to integrate the displacement and Women, Peace and Security agendas through addressing the differential rights, needs and experiences of displaced women, girls, and men and boys. https://www.gaps-uk.org/gaps-resources/gaps-newsletter-may-2019 monthly 0.5 2026-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061801815-1MNER33ZNJPW8KUQ9DMQ/generationequality.png GAPS Resources - GAPS Newsletter: May 2019 - UN Women Campaign to mark the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action UN Women has announced a new multi-generational campaign, "Generation Equality: Realising women's rights for an equal future".

It seeks to boost the momentum behind steps to ensure gender-responsiveness, not only in ensuring women fairly benefit from humanitarian assistance and are safe from gender-based violence, but also that their leadership is strengthened and their priorities translated into decisions on actions and investments. It draws on the experiences, insights and recommendations of local women leaders who have been directly affected by and led humanitarian response and recovery in communities or who lead organisations involved in building resilience and providing direct services to disaster-affected populations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061802814-3USB8FE8QOV9PXPZUTMN/wkw.png GAPS Resources - GAPS Newsletter: May 2019 - The power of feminist programmes to strengthen women's movements Womankind Worldwide has published the paper "Stronger Together: The power of feminist programmes to strengthen women's movements in Kenya, Uganda and Zimbabwe".

The focus of this paper is how men and masculinities in Afghanistan have been shaped by – and themselves shape – conflict and peacebuilding, and what this means for the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda. This focus comes out of an understanding that gender norms, roles, and power dynamics are formed and play out in relation to each other, and that, therefore, promoting women’s empowerment also requires working with men and boys in a transformative manner. https://www.gaps-uk.org/gaps-resources/assessing-uk-government-action-on-wps-in-2018 monthly 0.5 2026-02-13 https://www.gaps-uk.org/gaps-resources/gaps-newsletter-december-2018 monthly 0.5 2026-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061788511-Y1WZVZZE6DCA1GVOD3SO/interruptors.jpg GAPS Resources - GAPS Newsletter: December 2018 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061785511-2JIY42I5O2EBQT9NDEUR/Gender_Inequalities.png GAPS Resources - GAPS Newsletter: December 2018 - GAPS Director Hannah Bond, Abigail Hunt, and Ruth Ojiambo Ochieng have co-authored a chapter in the recently published Gender and Inequalities, edited by Professor Naila Kabeer and Caroline Sweetman, and published by Practical Action Publishing.

It looks at the impact this abuse is having on women, particularly the psychological harm and distress it causes survivors and how the abuse is resulting in women self-censoring what they say online. It also looks at the support women receive from other feminists, the barriers they face in accessing justice and the effectiveness of responses from governments, law enforcement, and internet and social media companies.

A full version of the report, including a summary of the Q&A, is available as a PDF here. On the week of World Refugee Day 2019, the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Women, Peace and Security partnered with Plan International UK, ActionAid UK, the International Rescue Committee (IRC), and Gender Action for Peace and Security (GAPS) to host a panel discussion on meeting the needs of adolescent girls in emergencies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061805306-49CL26BN0I0KKUA7NMF5/Hussaini-presentation.jpg Events | APPG-WPS - "Life in Limbo – adolescent girls in crisis and conflict" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69087d5a8b1a5970c25be421/1763061804408-UH1PPBBYLL7X5LCXI2VA/Asset-cover.jpg Events | APPG-WPS - "Life in Limbo – adolescent girls in crisis and conflict" Adolescence should be a time for exploration and growth for girls, a time when they expand their educational horizons and relations outside of the family. Yet while this is true for boys, we see that for girls, this is a time where their world begins to contract. When there are power imbalances, families and girls feel they cannot push back against harmful social norms in their communities, leading to increased CEFM (child, early, and forced marriage) and FGM. Central to ActionAid’s approach to humanitarian programming is shifting power to local leadership and building women’s leadership. It is important that more research into the impact of power imbalances takes place. Read the briefing circulated at the event, with recommendations for the UK Government from Plan International UK, ActionAid UK, IRC, and GAPS.
