A Consultative Meeting on Mainstreaming Gender in Areas of Conflict and
Reconstruction Bratislava, Slovakia 13-15 November 2001. The nature of armed
conflicts changed dramatically during the latter half of the twentieth
century, with casualties among civilians increasingly outnumbering those of
military personnel. Women and girls became especially vulnerable in such
conflicts. Because of this, significant ethical, analytical and
operational challenges have emerged for the United Nations system, not least
for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). One of the most critical
challenges is the need to develop integrated, gender-sensitive strategies
and
programme interventions for addressing conflict situations.
