Gendering UN peacekeeping
This report is a compilation of research done on, and related to, mainstreaming a gender perspective into United Nations Multidimensional Peacekeeping Operations (PKO). It also includes statistics and information, as well as theoretical and methodological perspectives. The first area concerns gender and the organization at the UN headquarters. The second concerns the PKO in the field (military unites, civilian police, civilian duties). The last area concerns two negative aspects of peacekeeping from a gender perspective: prostitution and violence against women. The report was done to be used as background material for the preparatory workshop on gender in PKOs, held in Uppsala on June 1st, 2nd and 3rd, 1999.
