Handbook on gender-responsive police services for women and girls subject to violence

New York: UNODC, 2021

English

The handbook is based on and complements existing global and country-specific handbooks and training materials for law enforcement. It covers in depth areas such as: gender-responsive police investigations; prevention; intersectionality; survivor-centered approaches; promoting positive masculinities; coordination; institution-building; and emerging issues such as online and ICT-facilitated violence against women and girls. The handbook also includes guidance on responding to violence against women and girls during crises, including pandemics. The target audience for the guidance is police middle managers; however, it can equally be used to engage senior management on institutional transformation and training for frontline responders, in police academies and ‘refresher courses’.
