Stereotypes and assumptions about the different roles, responsibilities, needs, capacities and agency of different groups of women, girls, men and boys have a profound influence on the work of border officers. Integrating a gender perspective into the work of state institutions responsible for border management can therefore have a significant impact on the ability of border officers to recognize and respond to the different needs and vulnerabilities of various groups of women, men, boys and girls.

The event provided an opportunity to discuss some of the topics highlighted in Tool 6 Border Management and Gender and feature a diverse panel of experts and practitioners, including:
- Maria de Fátima Magalhães da Rocha, Subintendent/2nd Commander, Portuguese State Police
- Djamilya Kaparova, Founder and Head, “Insan Diamond”
- Olena Vaidalovych, Senior Advisor on Legal Affairs, Fundacja w Strone Dialogu
- Irving Vidal, Senior Border Management Advisor, DCAF (Gambia office)

Volunteer holidays and ethical gap years are a staple feature of university life and broadsheet travel supplements, and have become a rite of passage for ambitious young people with altruistic intent. Yet this holiday humanitarianism is met with varying degrees of cynicism from many: tourists are often regarded as naïve, patronising or more interested in saving their own guilty Western consciences than genuinely helping people. Some even argue they are complicit in a new colonialism, which has been dubbed ‘the white tourist’s burden’. It has been claimed that volunteer tourism’s focus on small-scale projects like digging wells and building compost toilets may be responsible for setting low horizons and stymieing the development that is needed in poorer parts of the world. Is volunteer tourism driven as much by a quest for adventure and personal growth as it is by altruism? And if so, is that a problem?

The speakers are Jim Butcher, reader in geography of tourism at Canterbury Christ Church University and co-author of ‘Volunteer Tourism: the lifestyle politics of international development’, Harold Goodwin, professor of responsible tourism at Manchester Metropolitan University, Anna Mdee, research fellow at the Overseas Development Institute. The panel is chaired by Peter Smith, director of tourism at St Mary’s University College, Twickenham, and co-author of ‘Volunteer Tourism: the lifestyle politics of international development.’
