Video: Digital peacebuilding and intersectional feminism
Launch event of our latest report
Watch our event with Platform Peaceful Conflict Transformation and Build Up discussing how intersectional feminist approaches can transform digital peacebuilding.
How can we ensure that digital peacebuilding projects do not reinforce existing inequalities? How can a feminist lens to their approach and activities be ensured? What do we need to keep in mind during their implementation?
There are numerous researchers and practitioners who explore how including intersectional feminist perspectives delivers more impactful results in peacebuilding processes. Other scholars investigate how gender-sensitive and feminist approaches need to be applied to digital technologies in order to reduce the risk of reproducing biases or even doing harm. The report “Sealing the cracks. An intersectional feminist perspective on digital peacebuilding” explores how these two perspectives intersect in digital peacebuilding.
At this launch event, we discussed these topics with a panel of peace practitioners, policymakers and researchers. We also investigated how our research findings can contribute to Germany’s new feminist foreign and development policies.
