| Article Name : | | | GENDER MAINSTREAMING IN SECURITY SECTOR REFORM: A CASE STUDY OF AFGHANISTAN | | Author Name : | | | Mohd Aarif Rather , Anjani Devi | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | ROR-1108 | | Article : | |  | Author Profile | | Abstract : | | | South Asian region is viewed among the worst affected regions in terms of violence against women and gender marginalisation. Women are vulnerable to direct violence particularly sexual exploitation during war and post conflict situations. In this context, Security sector reform (SSR) is indispensable to post-conflict situations in order to avoid the reoccurrence of conflict, to create the moderate conditions for reconstruction and development as well as to enhance public security. For its effectiveness, the United Nations Security Council under ‘Resolution 1325’ calls for wider female participation in all aspects of post conflict reconstruction (UN 2000). The comprehensive integration of gender equality dimensions into SSR processes is critical for ensuring accountability and effective delivery of justice and security services. | | Keywords : | | |
