War, peace, security, and other global issues have been deeply gendered throughout history. Globally, gender is one of the crucial factors that determine who is most vulnerable to abuse and violated during wars, who commands authority and respect and who is marginalised, and who gets access to basic amenities and who does not. Gender is also a determinant of who is involved in framing the debates around peace and security both domestically and internationally. Basic conditions of peopleβs lives are often shaped by their sexual or gender identity. This course explains what this means in theory and practice, and why it is important. The course introduces students to the gendered nature of global issues such as conflict, peacebuilding, humanitarian action, and development. More specifically, the course aims to develop and strengthen the awareness and understanding of womenβs involvement in war, peace, and security-related issues. Some of the topics that will be covered in this course include gender dimensions of armed conflicts, child soldiers, gender implications of armed conflicts, womenβs involvement in peacebuilding practice, Disarmament, Demobilisation, and Reintegration (DDR).
