The Gender and Mine Action Programme (GMAP) was first launched by the Swiss Campaign to Ban Landmines in December 2006 to respond to the fact that landmines and ERWs affect women, girls, boys and men in different ways and that mine action programmes and activities often do not equally reach or benefit, females and males. Since June 2011, GMAP is an independent association. GMAP runs an international programme whose general objective is to raise awareness on the importance of taking into considerations the different needs, priorities, capabilities of women, girls, boys and men affected by landmines and ERWs. The programme objective complements current UN efforts to mainstream gender in the mine action field.
