Mecanisme de schimbare – evaluarea comparativă a dinamicii de gen în cadrul NATO și al UE

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has regionally and globally shifted the security paradigm and consequently undermined the international peace and stability. In this context, global security organizations have been put to a hard test and determined to use the blueprints of deterrence and defence based on political-military cohesion, resilience and adaptation. Developments on all dimensions of the defence and security sector have been reconsidered, thus the gender perspective being reconfirmed as crucial on the agendas of NATO and EU across all core tasks. Military capability, effectiveness and interoperability represent the most valuable assets for the challenging security landscape unfolding at present, therefore benchmarking the NATO and EU gender developments is key in the process of advancing gender equality and enhancing its integration in a coherent and coordinated manner. The new adopted Women, Peace and Security policies, plans and procedures enable both NATO and the EU to respond better to the broader security challenges and to thoroughly approach the intersection between gender and all other emerging security threats, by recognizing and employing diversity as a catalyst for a more secure future.
