The
survey is guided by the following two questions: Are security sector
institutions providing adequate response to the different security and justice
needs of men, women, boys and girls? What steps have been taken to create
internally equitable, representative and non-discriminatory institutions?

analysis of findings, and individual country profiles. The introduction

challenges. The summary and analysis of findings offers a cross-country and
cross-institution analysis of the survey findings, and includes a list of
recommendations. The 14 extensive country profiles present easy-to-read yet

police services, armed forces and gendarmerie, the justice system and penal
