Director Carol Cohn gives Keynote Address, "Beyond the “Women, Peace and Security” Agenda: Why We Need a Feminist Roadmap for Sustainable Peace," at the Graduate Institute Geneva

Date: 
Wednesday, June 7, 2017 - 12:15 to 18:00
Location: 
Auditorium Jacques-Freymond Rue de Lausanne, 132 Geneva
Description: 
Panel: Research Frontiers in Gender and Sustainable Peace
 
How does peace become sustainable and what role do gender relations play in the creation of sustainable peace? The question pre-occupies both academics and policy-makers. Scholarly research has postulated that there is a correlation between gender equality and the likelihood that countries solve conflicts violently. Conversely, in the policy world, there is an ongoing push for convergence between post-war humanitarian and development approaches with an eye towards fostering the structural changes necessary to make peace sustainable.
 
The proposed study day will provide an opportunity for interested stakeholders in the international Geneva policy network to engage with recent scholarship in the field of gender and peacebuilding. It seeks to accomplish two purposes, i.e.
  • To introduce recent findings from feminist research on gender and peacebuilding, and provide an opportunity to discuss such research from a policy perspective;
  • To develop the policy implications of this research and the outlines of feminist roadmap towards sustainable peace.
