Gender in Conflict and Conflict Transformation
Gender-specific dimensions, effects and challenges
Wed. 14. April 2010 until Thu. 15. April 2010
For the last ten years, academic research and policy discourses have shown how much violent conflict and their transformation potentials are both influenced and based on specific roles and stereotypes of women and men and power hierarchies among them. It has become clear that without taking the gender-specific dimensions of conflicts into account, the analysis of conflicts and conflict transformation policies will be distorted, one-sided, if not altogether misleading and false.
While referring to illustrative and concrete case studies, the training will introduce and discuss gender-specific dimensions of violent conflicts and conflict transformation as practice. The workshops will illustrate cases of best practice and the most important dos and don’ts in the area of gender and peace building.
Contents
- Terminology and main reasons why gender matters
- Gender-specific dimensions of violent conflicts and their different stages (different roles of women and men, construction of masculinity and femininity and their impact on the dynamics of violent conflicts, social and political power hierarchies in institutions of war and peace-making)
- Gender-specific challenges of conflict transformation for different actors and strategies to address them
- "Best practices": Dos and Don'ts in the area of gender and peacebuilding

- Participants can explain the relevant terminology and the main reasons why gender matters in the context of violent conflicts and conflict transformation
