Gender and Security

The Gender and Security area seeks to fully integrate the study of gender in the field of security to enable a fuller comprehension of international relations, conflict resolution and security studies.

This initiative examines strategies that help women participate in and influence peace building, with the goal of creating “inclusive security” where both genders are part of conflict prevention, resolution, reconciliation, and reconstruction and where both genders’ perspectives and concerns have equal weight in the peace building process. The geographical focus of this research is conflict and post-conflict areas of the world.
