Gender and Private Security Regulation: Policy Brief
This Policy Brief explains why integrating a gender perspective is important to the regulation of private military and security companies (PMSCs) and provides guidance to states on doing so in national legislation, contracting and procurement policies, as well as certification, oversight and accountability frameworks for PMSCs.
Part of the Gender and Security Toolkit, the Policy Brief:
- outlines what PMSCs are and the role of states in their regulation;
- explains why a gender perspective is needed for effective regulation of PMSCs;
- presents a range of priorities and entry points for states to integrate a gender perspective in the regulation of PMSCs.
The Toolkit was published with the support of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR). Its content does not necessarily reflect the policy and position of the OSCE/ODIHR.
