Monday, June 6, 2005 9:10 AM

Faced with a world in which daily threats to human security range from police brutality and domestic violence against women to armed conflict, a thorough analysis and integration of gender in security sector reform initiatives and processes will strengthen efforts to ensure the right to security for women, men, girls and boys as well as create a just, democratic and effective security sector.

The new web section available on INSTRAW's website includes a wide range of up-to-date information for researchers, activists, policy-makers, and practitioners such as:

Background and analytical framework
Glossary
Fact Sheet
Annotated Bibliography
Organisations
International Agreements
Events... and more!
