Gender and Security Toolkit – Tool 6: Border Management and Gender

Part of the Gender and Security Toolkit, the Tool:

- provides a framework to identify the multiple and varied gender aspects of border management;

- gives examples of progress made to integrate gender equality into border security management and promising practices;

- highlights global trends and major issues that impact on border management, both internally and externally, and discusses standards that can be used in policy frameworks and capacity building;

- suggests elements of a self-assessment checklist for border management institutions;

- lists other useful resources.

The Toolkit was published with the support of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR). Its content does not necessarily reflect the policy and position of the OSCE/ODIHR.
