handle is hein.unl/gndtams0001 and id is 1 raw text is: GENDER & THE ARMS TRADE TREATY > The Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) is the first legally binding multilateral instrument to recognize the connection between international arms trade and gender-based violence (GBV). > Article 7(4) of the ATT requires that States Parties in their export assessments 'take into account the risk' of the arms covered by the treaty 'being used to commit or facilitate serious acts of GBV or serious acts of violence against women and children. > To ensure effective implementation of Article 7(4) and to tackle the gendered impacts of armed violence, States and ATT stakeholders can: IMPLEMENT the decision taken at the ATT CSP5 collect gender disaggregated data within their national crime and health statistics, including gender disaggregated data on victims of armed violence and conflict, and make this data publicly available. MOVE BEYOND data collection by sex to encompass individuals of different gender identities and expressions and ensure that disaggregated data is used effectively to inform GBV risk assessment process. ENHANCE reporting on the implementation of 6 the GBV risk assessment criteria under Article 7 by including specific data and descriptions relating to gender and GBV in initial and annual reports. > Building on this provision, the Fifth Conference of States Parties (CSP5) in 2019 examined gender and gender-based violence in the context of the ATT and adopted decisions and recommendations to improve gender-balanced representation, facilitate a better understanding of the gendered impact of armed violence and to strengthen the implementation of GBV-related risk assessment. CONTINUE to provide training for export licensing officials on gender and GBV, including on the direct and indirect indicators of GBV to support comprehensive and consistent application of the ATT risk assessment. CREATE data sharing protocols within national law enforcement agencies that combine crime - data with weapons and ammunition to better assess the gendered impacts of diverted arms and ammunition. MONITOR progress on all commitments made -o- during ATT CSP5 on gender by using relevant indicators, such as the ones outlined in the ATT Gender Action Plan developed by Control Arms. ARMMNT arms
