In this context, collective action is a critical but poorly understood way for women small-scale farmers to strengthen their engagement in agricultural markets.

Gender, conflict, and peacebuilding: how conflict can catalyse positive change for women

Keywords

Overview

Although modern-day armed conflict is horrific for women, recent conflict and post-conflict periods have provided women with new platforms and opportunities to bring about change. The roles of women alter and expand during conflict as they participate in the struggles and take on more economic responsibilities and duties as heads of households. The trauma of […]

This article focuses on women’s rights organisations and their role in challenging inequality within the development process.
