The Gender and Diversity in Mine Action Working Group is a group of mine action organisations working together to promote gender and diversity mainstreaming in the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC) and Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM). Empowered to drive change, our common goal is tomake mine action more effective and inclusive.
We aim to use our collective voice to promote inclusive and effective humanitarian mine action through an intersectional approach to mainstreaming gender and other diversity factors in the sector. Our work involves collaboration with the Convention Implementation Support Units and supporting the Convention Gender Focal Points in their work.
