Description
As a threat to the security of individuals and societies, violence against women (VAW) is a priority area for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), forming part of its comprehensive approach to security that encompasses the politico-military dimension, the economic and environmental dimension and the human rights dimension. It recognizes that it is not just traditional security stemming from the security forces such as the police and the military that is important for peace and stability, but also the individual security of men and women, boys and girls. The OSCE Gender Section therefore works closely with all OSCE executive structures, participating States and other international organizations, to end violence against women and bring security home.
