(English) A Comprehensive Approach to Gender in Operations
An international course for middle management civilian and military professionals
24 November – 29 November 2024
MoD Training Center (Majoor Jan Linzel Complex)The Hague, The Netherlands
Due to complexity of current operations, there is an increasing awareness of the need for both military and civilian personnel to be equipped with practical means to interact with local women and men. Men and women experience conflict and security differently. Consequently, their perspectives on conflict resolution and peacebuilding also vary. We need to listen and respond to both perspectives. Not just because it is the right thing to do, but because it makes our operations more effective and sustainable. Actively engaging women and men on equal grounds, within our own missions and institutions as well as in rebuilding post-conflict societies, is a matter of operational effectiveness. This implies changes in the way we plan and implement our operations, which is precisely what A Comprehensive Approach to Gender in Operations aims to accomplish.
This is a certified course under the auspices of the European Security and Defence College (ESDC).This innovative international course, a result of the collaboration between the Spanish and Dutch Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Defence, responds to these demands by providing participants with the skills and know-how needed to face these new challenges.The 5 day course is based on the comprehensive approach to integrated missions and crisis management and builds on links between defence, diplomacy and development regarding gender and human rights issues.
(English) Feminist Edge: Professional Development for Gender Trainers
10 February 2025 - 8 August 2025.
Developed by KIT Royal Tropical Institute and the UN Women Training Centre, this six-month blended learning professional development for gender trainers brings a feminist edge (back) to gender training.
Feminist Edge offers professional development for gender trainers that re-captures and re-imagines gender training, as a feminist project, establishing a new approach to training for gender equality. We reposition training for gender equality as a strategy to challenge and engender mainstream development and support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The programme addresses the need to (re)claim autonomous spaces for feminist knowledge production and challenges development policy makers and practitioners to re-think how to address social and gender inequity to ensure that "no one is left behind.” Feminist Edge focusses both on the practice of gender training and on its conceptual underpinnings.
Modules 1 and 2 are virtual and Module 3 is 6-days face-to-face in Amsterdam. Click

Cyber Secure The Hague: Free Cybersecurity Tools and Advice for NGOs
With over 500 cyber attacks on NGOs since 2016, it’s more important than ever to make your NGO cyber resilient. Threats to NGOs include targeting by foreign governments and cyber criminals. While the City of The Hague provides cybersecurity assistance to international organisations, extending these resources to all local NGOs is challenging. To meet this need,
the CyberPeace Institute, DIVD, and The Hague Humanity Hub are all joining forces to help more NGOs become cyber secure.
