This webinar launches the report – A Global Review of the Development of Military GENAD Capabilities, drawing from interviews with current and former Gender Advisors (GENADs), who have served within or alongside military organisations across the world, and global experts on the development of gender equality within military organisations. This research was undertaken by Monash University and funded by the Australian Department of Defence.

Building on the findings of this research, this webinar explores the role and impact of GENADs and Gender Focal Points (GFPs) in military oganisations, as well as the challenges they face in fulfilling this role.

Join Monash University, UN Women, OSCE ODIHR, DCAF, and a panel of experts with experience working as or with GENADs and GFPs in military organisations. Hear about the findings and recommendations of the global review. Discuss with experts good practices, lessons learned and recommendations for improving the effectiveness of GENADs and GFPs and the military organisations they work in, advancing implementation of the WPS agenda, and contributing to building more gender equitable, sustainable and meaningful peace and security.
