African Women on the Thin Blue Line: Gender-Sensitive Police Reform in Liberia and Southern Sudan

The concept of security sector reform (SSR) — transforming security institutions into accountable, rights-respecting organizations subordinate to a civilian authority, often in post-conflict situations — has coalesced over the past ten years. The process of turning that concept into action has also been evolving as efforts at holistic SSR have yielded varied results and stakeholders have worked to identify lessons learned and create new tools to assist both practitioners and policymakers.1 Traditionally, security institutions and debates around security, stabilization and law enforcement have been the purview of a select few, the vast majority of whom are elite adult men. In the last several years, significant progress has been made to improve SSR processes, making them more inclusive of the diversity of populations they serve. Innovations such as the Gender and Security Sector Reform Toolkit,2 edited by Megan Bastick and Kristin Valasek, and contributions from authors such as Laurie Nathan, Marina Caparini and Vanessa Farr3 have helped to draw in the perspectives and experiences of many more of the security sector institutions’ end users than previously.
