The term Women, Peace and Security encompasses research focused on the position of women in relation to conflict, security and peacebuilding. It is rooted in the UN Women, Peace and Security agenda, which emphasises the importance of women’s participation in conflict prevention, peace processes, crisis response and post-conflict reconstruction, as well as the protection of women and girls from conflict-related violence. The field also includes analysis of the position of women in security policies, armed conflicts, humanitarian crises and international institutions.
