Field Assessment: Implementing EU Gender Policy in EUMM Georgia

This report offers an extended version of the assessment referred to in “Gender, Peace and Security in the European Union’s Field Missions” (Olsson et. Al 2014).

The report looks closer at what it means to work with gender mainstreaming and gender specific measures in practice – that is, actions meant to directly support gender equality efforts or improve women’s situation – in the setting of a civilian CSDP monitoring mission in Georgia.

The report looks at central aspects of the work and formulates eleven recommendations on how to strengthen the European Union Monitoring Mission in Georgia's (EUMM Georgia) work on gender mainstreaming.

The prop-plane bounces through turbulence and I am awoken. I gaze out the window at the landing strip. From high above it looks busy, with many aircraft on the tarmac. When we land I realize that all of the cargo planes, troop carriers, and small aircraft are actually all destroyed and the fuselages have merely been pushed to the side of the mortar-potted runway.
