Beyond Consultations Too – Ensuring women’s voices are heard

GAPS UK and a consortium of key development organisations have just launched a tool to ensure women’s voices are heard in consultations about peace and conflict reconstruction in fragile and conflict zones.  Its aim is to provide guidelines and a methodology for self assessment of current processes and a framework for future improvement.

Also released recently with a similar aim is the Oxfam Guide to Feminist influencing.  It provides guidelines on how to conduct a gender analysis of a context and a situation whether for a campaign or advocacy.
