Keywords: Gender and firearms; domestic violence prevention; masculinity and gun use; gender-sensitive legislation; women’s participation in arms control; arms trade; gender-based violence
Summary/Abstract: The findings and trends documented in Albania support these findings and demand the implementation of short and long-term actions, both at the legislative and policy levels. A comprehensive gender analysis of the relevant legislation and policies for small arms and ammunition was undertaken in order to assess their gender responsiveness, map gaps and provide recommendations for the authorities in order to enhance the gender responsiveness of the respective legislative and policy frameworks. This is an integral part of the ongoing harmonization of the arms-control legislation with the EU regulatory framework and other related international obligations and standards across the region.
