Gender-inclusive conflict transformation:Insights from female former combatants and women associated with resistance and liberation movements

This report is the first in the policy insight series on gender-inclusive conflict transformation, which will be published throughout 2022 and 2023. This first issue aims to contextualise and critically review current policies and practices in peace negotiations and post-war transitions, based on testimonies shared by network members during activities conducted since 2018, and complemented by relevant academic references. Through a participatory process of joint analysis, the series will present the experiences, aspirations and lessons learned from women in or associated with RLMs with regard to gender-inclusive approaches to peace negotiations and post-war peacebuilding.

Gender Relations, Violence and Conflict TransformationHandbook Article

Makes the case for taking gendered views of conflict, violence, war and peace as a basic prerequisite of conflict transformation. In examining the relation between masculinities, femininities and violence, as well as the links between structure and agency, the author highlights the dangers of assuming ‘natural’ gender behaviour. She stresses the need for women and men to be able to live a plurality of roles and identities. She also outlines ways in which conflict transformation could be improved by fully integrating gender issues into its analysis.

Вопросы культуры, асиметрии власти и гендера в трансформации конфликтовHandbook Article

[Аннотация машинный перевод] Подчеркивается, что подходы к трансформации конфликтов неизбежно связаны с тесно связанными категориями асимметрии власти, гендерного неравенства и культурных различий. Автор утверждает, что существует всеобъемлющая глобальная культура доминирования. Эмансипация маргинализированных групп стимулирует фундаментальный культурный сдвиг, который подразумевает трансформация конфликта, и является его результатом. (переработано для печатного издания 2004 г.).
