Gender Dynamics in Armed Violence, Small Arms Control and Security - Uwem Essia - Bog

"Gender Dynamics in Armed Violence, Small Arms Control and Security" is a compelling exploration into the critical issues of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) proliferation and its intersection with gender-based violence. With a nuanced and multidimensional approach, this book navigates through the far-reaching implications of SALW in post-conflict societies while highlighting the Arms Trade Treaty's role in addressing gender-based violence. It unravels the complexities of gender in arms export decision-making and offers practical insights into gender-responsive small-arms programming. Drawing on the United Nations initiatives, it underscores the gender dimensions of small arms control and suggests transformative interventions. This thought-provoking work is an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, and advocates striving for a safer and more equitable world.
