The goal of this curriculum is to support and empower women to participate in dialogue and decision-making to create a security sector that is more effective and accountable. It’s a companion to A Women’s Guide to Security Sector Reform, published in 2013 by DCAF and Inclusive Security.

Concepts addressed in the curriculum include security, the security sector, security sector reform, gender and gender equality, and the links between them. Also covered are skills for planning, research, building coalitions, developing recommendations, and advocacy around the security sector, as well as monitoring and evaluating those efforts.

The training curriculum includes 17 modules that each takes one to four hours.
