| Summary: | This book highlights the gender
dimensions of conflict, organized around major relevant
themes such as female combatants, sexual violence, formal
and informal peace processes, the legal framework, work, the
rehabilitation of social services and community-driven
development. It analyzes how conflict changes gender roles
and the policy options that might be considered to build on
positive aspects while minimizing adverse changes. The
suggested policy options and approaches aim to take
advantage of the opportunity afforded by violent conflict to
encourage change and build more inclusive and gender
balanced social, economic and political relations in
post-conflict societies. The book concludes by identifying
some of the remaining challenges and themes that require
additional analysis and research. |
