Gender Checklist for Assessment Missions for Peacekeeping Operations

Security Council Resolution 1325 (2000) on women, peace and security calls on peacekeeping operations to incorporate a gender perspective in all aspects of their work. A "gender perspective," simply put, means examining each issue from the point of view of women and men and boys and girls to identity any differences in their needs and priorities, as well as in their abilities or potential to promote peace and reconstruction.
