SEESAC's Brief Guide to Gender Analysis – a practical resource developed to strengthen the analytical and operational capacities of Fi****ms Focal Points in the Western Balkans - is out 👇

Fi****ms Focal Points (FFPs) play a key role in providing intelligence to law enforcement to address fi****ms-related criminality.

This Guide supports FFPs in systematically integrating a gender perspective into their activities through consistent gender-sensitive data collection and the application of gender analysis, ultimately enhancing the intelligence picture and prevention of fi****ms criminality.

Developed as part of technical assistance to FFPs in the region, the Guide offers practical guidance to FFPs on collecting gender-sensitive data and applying gender analysis. By building on standard operating procedures and leveraging SEESAC’s field-tested tools and recent trainings, it provides a clear pathway for the integration of gender perspective into routine operations and analytical outputs.

At the centre of the Guide is a practical, step-by-step methodology for gender analysis comprised of six interconnected steps:

👉 collecting data to gain insight into the position of women and men;
👉 identifying gender specific patterns;
👉 examining the factors behind the identified patterns;
👉 proposing measures;
👉 consolidating a gender-responsive intelligence picture;
👉 and monitoring trends and evaluating responses.

By implementing these steps, the FFP's strengthen their key outputs by providing insights that support investigators and inform strategic planning.

The Guide is available in English, Albanian, BCMS, and Macedonian.
