Addressing discrimination and promoting gender equality and inclusion has long been a priority of the APMBC. In the Oslo Action Plan (OAP), States Parties identified gender and diversity mainstreaming as a key best practice for Convention implementation. They committed to several practical steps to integrate gender perspectives and the diverse needs and experiences of people in affected communities in mine action programming. These included concrete actions related to risk education, victim assistance, sharing of data disaggregated by gender and age in Article 7 reporting, as well as the establishment of centralized databases that disaggregate data on people killed or injured, by gender, age, and disability.
