About the Book

Inspired by the vision and values of women of the South Asian Peace Network, this volume fills a critical gap in the global Women Peace and Security (WPS) discourse. The chapters focus on the region?s multifaceted experiences and feminist expertise on women negotiating post-war?post-conflict situations structured around interlinked themes?women, participation and peacebuilding, militarization and violent peace and justice, impunity and accountability. This volume brings to the fore the efforts of women trying to deliver a transformative peace that questions gendered power relations, while confronting the socio-cultural barriers that prevent them from participating in rebuilding conflict-affected societies to bring about just peace.
