3 Feb 2026

This report was supported by Asia-Pacific Centre for the Responsibility to Protect  and Asia-Pacific Partnership Against Atrocity Prevention (APPAP) Gender and Atrocity Prevention Working Group  argues that integrating gendered early warning systems into the ASEAN Women Peace and Security Regional Plan of Action (WPS RPA) is essential for preventing Gender-based Violence (GBV), strengthening protection, preventing harm, and enhancing the overall well-being of women and girls.

Dr Tamara Nair and Ms Vishalini Suresh ,the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS) Nanyang Technological University Singapore  call for the expansion of existing EWS to include capture gender-specific signals such as rising domestic violence, reduced access to health services, restricted (or in some cases, increased, forced) mobility, increased care responsibilities, or patterns of online abuse.
