The progressive central role of emerging human rights in post-conflict contexts has materialized in a normative and doctrinal specification of the right of women to a life free of violence, in connection with the dimensions of physical and personal security proposed by Human Security. Thus, the need to reform or transform the institutions that provide security to include the gender perspective in them has become increasingly important in peacekeeping missions, especially after the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, in October 2000. This article aims to shed light on the security perspectives, policies and practices operating in post-conflict Security Sector Reform processes and on the extent to which these have been permeated by gender focus and by the contributions of anti-war feminism and of Feminist Security Studies. To this end, the document assesses the operationalization of the United Nations mandate on Security Sector Reform during the transition process of Timor Leste (1999 to 201), and the deployment of tools for the promotion of equality between men and women and the eradication of gender and sexual violence, as well as its results.
