| Summary: | Societal security has become nowadays an important pair of lenses for
discussing identity in a multilayered fashion within the context of an enlarged
security concept. The complexity deriving from that engenders the necessity to
identify and use new tools for reliably defining communities and their specific
identities in order to better understand how state-wise strategies and policies can raise security risks when disregarding those communities’ needs and interests. In this respect, the goal of this article is to demonstrate the benefits of employing a gender-based perspective in defining societal security. Hence, it focuses on the possible correlations that can be conceptually identified between societal security and gender perspective. Then, the article exemplifies how a gender-based analysis can contribute to better societal security approaches by discussing Romania’s strategic approach to the Covid-19 pandemic and the possible observations deriving from that.
