ABSTRACT

Over the past two decades, the international Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has established a commitment to increase the participation of women in matters of peace and security, to ensure the protection of women's rights, and to include gender perspectives in conflict prevention. The WPS agenda foresees a number of measures to make peacekeeping more gender-responsive, including training uniformed peacekeepers on gender. These policy commitments date back to the year 2000, and have instigated the development of training materials and the institutionalization of training at regional and national levels. This article examines these training mandates, asking: What is the scope and nature of gender training for peacekeepers? How is gender understood to operate in peacekeeping? A review of international and national policy commitments demonstrates that training uniformed peacekeepers on gender has become a significant transnational practice. An examination of these mandates and training guidance reveals that training discourse establishes a normative understanding of gender that is focused primarily on vulnerability to sexual violence, and that frames gender as a question of skills and capacities rather than political investments or moral values. However, differences in localization demonstrate that gender training could be and sometimes is understood more expansively.

在过去的二十年中，国际妇女，和平与安全（WPS）议程已作出承诺，要增加妇女对和平与安全事务的参与，确保保护妇女权利，并将性别观点纳入预防冲突中。《世界卫生计划》议程预见了一些使维持和平对性别问题更加敏感的措施，包括对穿制服的维持和平人员进行性别方面的培训。这些政策承诺可以追溯到2000年，并且促使了培训材料的开发以及区域和国家级培训制度化。本文研究了这些培训要求，并提出以下要求：维和人员进行性别培训的范围和性质是什么？在维持和平行动中如何理解性别？对国际和国家政策承诺的审查表明，对穿制服的维和人员进行性别培训已经成为重要的跨国做法。对这些任务和培训指导的审查表明，培训话语建立了对性别的规范理解，其主要侧重于性暴力的脆弱性，并且将性别视为技能和能力的问题，而不是政治投入或道德价值观。但是，本地化的差异表明，性别培训可以而且有时被更广泛地理解。对这些任务和培训指导的审查表明，培训话语建立了对性别的规范理解，其主要侧重于性暴力的脆弱性，并且将性别视为技能和能力的问题，而不是政治投入或道德价值观。但是，本地化的差异表明，性别培训可以而且有时被更广泛地理解。对这些任务和培训指导的审查表明，培训话语建立了对性别的规范理解，其主要侧重于性暴力的脆弱性，并且将性别视为技能和能力的问题，而不是政治投入或道德价值观。但是，本地化的差异表明性别培训可以而且有时被更广泛地理解。
