This paper seeks to provide empirical information that would enable CSSF Pakistan to find key entry points to understand the gendered implications of SOC and enhance ongoing discussions around gender-sensitive SOC programming in-country. It is based on a review of publicly available literature on gender and organised crime from within Pakistan and outside, complemented by consultation from Pakistani context experts. The impact of SOC is highly gendered: the networks, and their corrosive impact on security and developmental outcomes, are sustained by patriarchal and regressive gender norms prevalent in the country.
