About the GLASS project

The Gender Lens for Arms Control Support and Sustainability (GLASS) project generates evidence-based, gender-responsive knowledge for addressing the negative impacts of the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons, and for enabling the universalization and effective implementation of international arms control instruments. GLASS contributes to increasing women's participation in multilateral policymaking fora and to integrating gender perspectives in arms control policy and practice.

The project has three components: Gender and Arms Control: facilitating gender mainstreaming in international arms control decision-making processes by seeking to strengthen both women's increased and meaningful participation in multilateral policymaking fora and the effective inclusion of gender analysis in arms control policy and programming. Converging Agendas: identifying relevant points of convergence of international agendas on arms control; women, peace and security; and sustainable development, and enhancing international arms control frameworks and instruments through gender-informed and gender-responsive approaches. Building the Evidence Base: supporting effective, relevant, and efficient arms control policymaking and programming by providing accurate data, genderinformed and evidence-based tools, and resources to policy practitioners.

The GLASS project provides a forum for thematic discussion during multilateral disarmament events; evidence-based tools for policymakers to adopt genderresponsive approaches to arms control policy and practice; and access to unique data, analysis, and resources.

The project is supported by Global Affairs Canada--the Weapons of Mass Destruction Threat Reduction Program. For more information, please see:
