Bridging the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda with the Responsibility to Protect in Conflict Prevention
While the participation and leadership of women and girls is integral to upholding the
Responsibility to Protect (RtoP), the incorporation of a gendered lens in its implementation has proven difficult. In their article for the
Global Observatory, Jessica Roland and Marijke Kremin call on the international community to address two critical issues: The failure fully to integrate, implement, and monitor gender-sensitive indicators, including the levels of gender-based violence in societies, specific types of violence against women, and measures that restrict or impede the rights of women and girls. The second is the lack of disaggregated data - by areas including sex, age, and ethnicity - across key development indicators. This limits the international community’s ability to monitor how specific groups are impacted by conflict.
