Gender Analysis of Conflict Toolkit: S6 Extractive industries
Publisher: Saferworld
Topics: Extractive Resources, Gender
Over the past two decades, there has been increasing recognition that to understand the nature of conflict and design effective responses, peacebuilders must consider gender. The different roles and behaviours of women, men and sexual and gender minorities (SGMs) affect the way that conflicts play out, as well as the impacts they have on people’s lives. This toolkit for gender analysis of conflict is intended to help national and international non-governmental organisations and other peacebuilding practitioners to integrate gender perspectives into conflict analysis, providing a foundation for more gender-sensitive peacebuilding programmes. This topic guide provides particular guidance on analysing gender and conflict in relation to extractive industries.
