Synthesizes existing discourse and practices on the relevance of and integration of gender perspectives in conflict, development, and fragility policies and programming. Current literature shows a lack of rigorous analysis and documentation of innovative ongoing practices that tackle issues of inclusion and protection for women in conflict situations.

Advocacy, awareness raising, and strategies for combating sexual violence need to (1) look at socio-cultural factors, (2) insert condemnation of such action in peace agreements, and (3) deal with the trauma from such violence and discriminatory treatment.
