Abstract
This brief essay begins by arguing that shared advocacy between the Responsibility to Protect (RtoP) and Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agendas is vital to help realise their stated objectives. Specifically, the essay notes that Asian states are aware of the gendered characteristics of RtoP debates and policy, and have been articulating policy-responses to address this shortcoming. The essay ends by articulating ways in which the international community can assist Asian states to promote R2P/WPS sensitive instruments and mechanisms.
