Gaps in Women’s Participation and Representation in the Small Arms and Light Weapons Process Brief (2017)

This brief offers recommendations concerning the gaps in women’s participation in SALW processes. It offers insight on the following:

1. Need to improve governments’ understanding of the links between small arms control and issues of gender.
Those links need to be reflected in legislation and other governmental processes

2. Women are underrepresented in small arms processes; and need to be full participants in these processes.

3. These efforts require capacity building and additional funding support.
