The Other Side of Gender Men as Critical Agents of Change
Joseph Vess, Gary Barker, Sanam Naraghi-Anderlini, and Alexa Hassink, December 2013
Summary
The women, peace, and security agenda has expanded since the 2000 passage of Security Council Resolution 1325, which called to “increase the participation of women and incorporate gender perspectives in all United Nations peace and security efforts.” It encompasses a wide range of activities, from economic development programs to political activism to psychological counseling. Practitioners, however, have noted that focusing on women to the exclusion of men can stymie their efforts and weaken the sustainability of their work. Thus, incorporating the perspectives of men has become an emerging part of the women, peace, and security agenda.
