Gendering Cybersecurity through Women, Peace and Security: Gender and Human Rights in National-level Approaches to Cybersecurity

Gendering Cybersecurity through Women, Peace and Security: Gender and Human Rights in National-level Approaches to Cybersecurity

New risks created by emerging and modern technologies have gendered dimensions and impacts, which remain unrecognized and unaddressed by most policy approaches to technology and cybersecurity. Building on earlier research on women’s use of information and communication technologies for peacebuilding, the Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP), in partnership with the ICT4Peace Foundation and with support from the Directorate of International Law (DIL) of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), developed this research report on the connections and synergies between national level policies on Women, Peace and Security, and cybersecurity.
