Uncovering the diversity of roles played by women from resistance and liberation movements in peace processes

This paper, the fourth in our policy insight series on gender-inclusive conflict transformation, examines the formal and informal roles played by women in and associated with resistance and liberation movements (RLMs) during peace processes. We conducted focus group discussions, interviews and peer-learning workshops with women from South Africa, Northern Ireland, Colombia, the Philippines, Kosovo and other contexts in Latin America, Europe and Southeast Asia who contributed to peace processes either as formal negotiators or informal peace leaders.
