Building Institutions to Protect: Security Sector Reform as Necessary for Implementation of 1325

  • Megan Bastick

Abstract

The day-to-day performance of security sector institutions in conflict-affected countries is central to protection of women and girls from violence. As such, “security sector reform” (SSR) is crucial to successful implementation of 1325. Experience in 1325 implementation points to the need for integrated approaches, with attention to governance, oversight and accountability dimensions, led by local stakeholders. 1325 work may be strengthened through SSR approaches; at the same time, existing SSR must integrate 1325.
