Description
This paper aims to understand how gender was used in the Brahimi Report (2000) on UN Peacekeeping Operations. The challenges posed by armed conflicts highlighted the efforts to stabilise regions and protect civilians, especially in the 1990s and 2000s. The role of the United Nations in these operations and the growing concern about the inclusion of women in security processes are, then, emphasised by Resolution 1325 (2000). Regarding research, scholars such as Howard (2007) and MacQueen (2996) have created theoretical models for evaluating operations. However, one of the main documents launched in this regard was the Brahimi Report. This study, therefore, seeks to answer the following questions: "Is it possible to state that gender was used as a parameter in the effectiveness of peace operations in the Brahimi Report? How was this concept addressed by the document?". The hypothesis is that, in the document, gender is not used as a measure of success and failure in peace operations. The concept is approached in an isolated and not integrated measure into the peace process. The study's methodology consists of a documental analysis and a literature review. It also uses the hypothetical-deductive method to interpret the effects produced by the concepts studied.
