Keywords: Gender and firearms; domestic violence prevention; small arms control; gender-sensitive legislation; arms trade regulation
Summary/Abstract: Findings and trends documented in the Republic of North Macedonia reflect these patterns (Section I) and demand long and short-term actions, both at the legislative and policy levels. To support authorities in the Republic of North Macedonia in fully integrating the gender perspective into small arms control, a comprehensive gender analysis of legislation pertaining to arms control was undertaken. This analysis has aimed to assess the gender responsiveness of relevant legislation and policies, map gaps in legislative responses, and provide recommendations for authorities on how to advance the gender responsiveness of the respective legislation. This represents an integral part of the ongoing harmonization of arms-control legislation with the EU regulatory framework and other related international obligations and standards across the region.
