• Resumen

  • In this chapter I make a critical analyisis of international, gender mainstreaming policies implemented in the field of peace and security and, more concretely, how these have been introduced into the UNPKO following the adoption of UNSCR 1325. Although its adoption was a landmark, its implementation has been severely criticised and it currently faces big challenges. These include promoting real participation by women, overcoming the dominant, traditional vision of the latter as victims in armed conflicts; and going beyond the identification of gender with women in order to also consider analysis of masculinities and unequal gender relations.
