On 18 November 2021, UNREC participated in the CRSV MARA Working Group monthly meeting organised by the Women’s Protection Adviser of MINUSMA. UNREC exchanged with the DPO’s CRSV Team in the Policy and Best Practices Service of DPET on the new policy for preventing and responding to CRSV in field missions. UNREC debriefed on its work with the gender and SALW control project in CAR and encouraged participants to consider the links between small arms proliferation and misuse and CRSV.
