“…There is a mentality that police cultural reform as it relates to gender issues is secondary to more urgent concerns, however, feminist scholars urge that gender reform be considered integral to police particularly as it relates to improving operational effectiveness (Huber & Hudson, 2019). As a precursor to any policy or procedural implementation, it may be useful for police organizations to develop training that provides senior leaders the opportunity to understand the experiences of women in their navigation though the traditional hierarchies in policing.…”

“…Trailblazers break cultural traditions and enjoy a sense of pride in broadening stereotypical roles (Storie et al, 2016). This study is significant to the contribution of the literature on gender and policing in the US because gendered police reform comprises a spectrum of characteristics and actions that seek to deconstruct male dominant norms within police forces (Huber & Hudson, 2019). The study of lived experiences of trailblazing women police leaders breaking through the “glass ceiling” provides justification for this study in the context of providing another level of visibility to the need for gendered police reform.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of trailblazing women leaders in US police organizations as viewed through the lens of translocational positionality framework (TPF). The intent was to determine if as “trailblazers” their leadership strategies might have differed from other leaders in police organizations. This exploratory qualitative study used a purposive sample of 13 trailblazing leaders and conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews. Using a grounded theory methodology, the author found the women police leaders’ behaviors and leadership characteristics were fluid based on the context and circumstances of the situation. The themes of authority and presence emerged as the leaders proved to be highly capable and component caregivers, selfless servants, over-achievers, and great communicators who balanced both male and female leadership behaviors. The findings revealed that the trailblazing participants were unique, and their leadership strategies were different from their colleagues because they were willing to create their own path to leadership opportunities.

“…Jennings highlights the topic and perspective, arguing that the more women participate in peacekeeping, the easier it is to create peace. Furthermore, Jennings questions whether increasing women's involvement in peacekeeping is about "selling" gender issues or actually creating genuine peace (Huber & Hudson, 2019).…”

After the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 in 2000, the United Nations (UN) created the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) mandate to promote gender equality and enable women's full participation in global security and peacekeeping efforts. The aim of this mandate is to ensure that women have equal access to opportunities, resources, and services, as well as the ability to participate in decision-making processes, in order to build and maintain peace and security. This research aims to analyze the role of the Indonesian Women's Army as Women Peacekeepers in maintaining world peace. In an increasingly complex era of globalization, conflicts and threats to global peace are on the rise. Involving more women in peacekeeping operations is expected to make a significant contribution to maintaining stability and world peace. The research methodology used is a qualitative approach with literature study and analysis of secondary data. This study analyzes the role of the Indonesian Women's Army in peacekeeping operations. The findings of this research indicate that the Indonesian Women's Army, as Women Peacekeepers, play a crucial role in maintaining world peace. They not only contribute to the maintenance of physical security but also play a significant role in empowering women and children, addressing cases of sexual violence, and advocating for gender equality.

“…In the aftermath of UN Security Resolution 1325(2000 on women, peace and securityfrequently referred to as 'the' resolution on the role of gender in post-conflict settingsa growing number of liberal and critical feminist works have emerged on the topic gender and SSR in post-conflict environments (Willett 2010;Shepherd 2011;Porter 2003;Myrttinen, Khattab, and Naujoks 2017;Mobekk 2010;MacKenzie 2009;Krause, Krause, and Bränfors 2018;Jenichen, Joachim, and Schneiker 2018;Huber and Hudson 2019;Holvikivi 2015;Gibbings 2011;Ellerby 2013;Gordon 2019). Recently, a number of scholars have focused on linking gender and SSR in the Western Balkan context by directing attention to the relationship between local ownership and gender (Gordon 2014;Ansorg and Gordon 2019;Gordon 2015;McLeod 2015), to international gender policies (Pupavac 2010) and masculinities (Munn 2008;Baliqi 2018;Farquet 2018).…”

Security Sector Reform, Small Arms and Light Weapons and Gender in the Post-Conflict Western Balkans

We all experience war in a different way -building peace in post-conflict environments requires solutions that bring together various aspects of these experiences at the local, national and international levels. However, the actors involved and the social groups they address are only rarely those at the margin, and the diversity of the catch-all category of "locals" frequently goes unacknowledged when considering Security Sector Reform (SSR) and especially small arms 2 control. Numerous studies have focused on SSR and gender in the Balkans, on perceptions of security in post-conflict environments and its gender-related aspects, as well as on the gendered aspects of small arms, but so far the analysis bringing together all of these aspects is scarce. This paper aims to address this gap, providing an overview of these areas to show that attempts at state-building and security-provision in the Western Balkans have failed to appropriately incorporate gender mainstreaming into their agendas. It is the central claim of this paper that policymakers must realize that gender mainstreaming without a broader understanding of gendered aspects of security does not and will not have transformative power -neither in the Western Balkans, nor in other post-conflict environments.
