The objective of the workshop "Gender and Small Arms Control Regional Workshop for the Caribbean" is to engage participants in a series of structured discussions on the following themes (final themes to be determined in consultation with participants):
• Concepts: Understanding the gender dimensions of small arms violence
• Language: Speaking the same language on gender
• Promises: Understanding existing state commitments on gender and small arms
• Practices: How to "gender mainstream" small arms control programmes and initiatives
• Data: Generating data to support gender-responsive programmes
• Assessment: Evaluating gender-responsiveness

These themes will be tailored to participants based on regional and national small arms control and WPS-related processes and programmes, and on the basis of a pre-workshop assessment.
