GENDER AND MILITARISM: ANALYZING THE LINKS TO STRATEGIZE FOR PEACE
This publication comprises of 23 articles written by leading academics, pioneering women peace activists and civil society representatives from all over the world, critically reflecting on the links between gender & militarism from multiple perspectives. It is a collection of academic articles, personal testimonies and civil society initiatives advocating for awareness and action around the multi-layered connections between gender and militarism, and highlighting gender-sensitive nonviolent action (people power) as a powerful alternative to address conflict. It contains contributions from, among others, Cynthia Cockburn, Cynthia Enloe, Sharon Bhagwan-Rolls and the Center of Women’s Global Leadership about the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign. https://www.womenpeacemakersprogram.org/assets/CMS/May-24-gender-/May-Pack-2014-web.pdf
MEN & WOMEN WORKING AS PARTNERS FOR GENDER-SENSITIVE ACTIVE NONVIOLENCE
This publication, published in 2013, is a collection of stories of transformation written by former trainees of the WPP Training of Trainers Cycle 2009-2010 on Masculinities, Violence and Peacebuilding. Thirteen men share on how this training impacted their personal and professional life, and how they continue to work as partners of women peace activists for gender-sensitive peacebuilding. Women activists reflect on the stories of the men and their own experience of working with men in their community work.
TOGETHER FOR TRANSFORMATION; MEN, MASCULINITIES AND PEACEBUILDING
Following the pilot Training of Trainers Cycle 2009-2010 on masculinities, violence and peace, this 2010 publication goes beyond seeing UNSCR 1325 as merely a women’s issue. It explores the opportunities and risks in terms of including men and the topic of masculinities in the Women, Peace and Security Agenda. The publication also shares inspiring examples of the work being done by men and women all over the world, who are challenging patriarchal structures in order to bring about inclusive and peaceful societies.
With kind regards,
