Security Barometer: A Gender-Sensitive Lens on Regional Peacebuilding

The South Caucasus is a hotspot of geopolitical dynamics, shaped by shifting regional power balances and competing security interests. In this complex environment, the Security Barometer—an initiative by the South Caucasus Women Think Tank—provides a critical assessment of the existing and emerging threats concerning security, justice, and peacebuilding in the region.

The primary purpose of the Barometer is to empower peace experts with actionable insights to advocate effectively to state and international stakeholders. By analyzing these dynamics through the dual lens of human security and gender equality, the publication seeks to facilitate concrete actions that benefit all conflict-affected communities.
