Palestinian women, violence, and the peace process

Keywords

Overview

They have not only survived in an atmosphere of remorseless violence, but have also made remarkable strides in terms of their rights and development as women.

Keywords

Overview

Water is one of the most important natural resources, and its effective management is essential given its scarcity.

The […]

‘If You Want Peace, Create Peace’: women’s rights organisations as operatives of hybrid peace in the former Yugoslavia

Keywords

Overview

Gender-based harms experienced in conflict constitute a threat to the right of women and girls to live with dignity.

At the frontlines of the fight […]
