Gender Peace Audit

The Gender Peace Audit component is defined as 'a review by women of the implementation of international agreements and policies relating to national/regonal peace and security issues affecting women.' It aims to elicit the perspectives of women and identify local realities affecting women's peace and security in order to inform global policy in such a way as to support effective implementation.
