NATO and its partners from the Euro-Atlantic Council (EAPC) on Tuesday (13 May 2014) released a revised policy on Women, Peace and Security, which aims to step up the implementation of gender-related measures in NATO civilian and military structures, as well as in NATO-led operations and missions. “A more focused, inclusive and forward-leaning approach is what we need to take our efforts forward. The policy provides us with the necessary tools to further enhance the integration of a gender perspective, notably in the fields of crisis management, cooperative security and NATO-led operations,” said Mari Skaare, NATO’s Secretary General’s Special Representative for Women, Peace and Security.
