- Description
- Gender oppression has been a feature of war and conflict throughout human history. Today, in a variety of post-conflict settings--the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Colombia, Northern Ireland --international advocates for women's rights have focused bringing issues of sexual violence, discrimination and exclusion into peace-making processes.The authors in this book argue that there has been too little success. They contend that a broader approach would not just benefit women. Gender mainstreaming and increased gender equality has a direct correlation with state stability and functions to preclude further conflict.With this in mind, they examine the efforts of transnational organizations, states and civil society in multiple jurisdictions to place gender at the forefront of all post-conflict processes. They offer concrete analysis and practical solutions to ensuring gender centrality in all aspects of peace making and peace enforcement.
