Pinpoint, in partnership with Genderforce, provide a range of services to counter Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) and can provide a team of experienced security experts who can be deployed to conflict and post conflict environments where women and girls, or other vulnerable citizens are at risk.
Pinpoint and Genderforce’s experts work in conflict-afflicted regions where the women’s rights and opportunities are poor and where violence and oppression against women and girls is common. This impacts the whole of society and hinders a return to stability and reconciliation. Our experts work in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions (UNSCR) 1325 (2000), 1820 (2008), 1888 (2009), 1889 (2009), 1960 (2010), 2106 (2013), 2122 (2013) and 2242(2015), on Women, Peace and Security (WPS) together with UNSCR 2331 (2016). Our Doctrine and processes conform to international law and recognised norms at both local and regional levels.
Our objective is to provide a standard for governments and security forces to assist and enable them to prevent and respond to terrorism or violent extremism or threats, and prevent SGBV in conflict environments. We provide support to government agencies, justice systems, NGOs, police and military forces.
Training to raise awareness and identify risks to women, including women’s organisations and human rights defenders, and populations in vulnerable situations.
Risk assessments and security analysis with an integrated gender perspective.
SGBV doctrine, procedures and documentation; which can be adapted to provide a blue print for action and can be immediately implemented.
Leadership programmes to develop SGBV and gender responsive leadership and role models, including programmes and capacity building for leadership by women in key agencies that influence at local and national level (e.g. police, military and politics).
Legislative proposals to strengthen laws that protect women and populations in vulnerable situations.
Processes that lead to the institutionalisation of gender mainstreaming encompassing SGBV in government agencies.
Operational training and programmes to build capacity and change behaviours within organisations, along with monitoring systems to measure the effectiveness of training and delivery.
