Asia Pacific Perspectives on Gender-Responsive Indicators for Atrocity Prevention

This report collates information from parts of the Asia Pacific on early warning systems and conceptualises how gender-responsive indicators may be used to strengthen approaches to early warning early response (EWER), especially in the
context of atrocity prevention. The findings are based on: a) Previous research published by the Asia Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect (APR2P) and the Asia Pacific Partnership on Atrocity Prevention Gender Working Group; b) Expertise of APPAP Gender Working Group (APPAP GWG) members; (c) Non-exhaustive literature review of existing EWER systems in the region; (d) Country-level roundtables on gender and atrocity prevention held throughout 2022-2023; and (e) A regional workshop attended by experts from the Asia Pacific on gender-responsive indicators for early warning of atrocity crimes. The report recommends options for better integrating gender-sensitive information into early warning mechanisms and more generally, for adopting a gender responsive approach to atrocity prevention.
