Overview

DCAF aims to assist governments, military and police with addressing discrimination and strengthening the role of women in the security sector. The 2015 – 2017 Gender and Justice Project identified gender inequality as a root cause of domestic violence (DV), sexual and gender-based harassment (SGBH) and gender bias (GB). The project was made up of four complementary thematic components:

•Gender Trainer Development

•Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment Policy Implementation

•Domestic Violence Benchbook Institutionalization

•Gender Bias Curriculum Development
