A WILPF Guide to Feminist Political Economy in Conflict and Post-Conflict Phase (Arabic)
February 2019
We believe that feminist political economy analysis is the key to understanding the underlying causes of conflict and war, and for transforming political, social and economic structures. The guide builds a cohesive understanding of how a feminist political analysis is a powerful tool for peace. We use our analysis to create dialogues with major multilateral power institutions. These discussions are a basis for moving towards sustainable changes in peace processes through the Women Peace and Security agenda.
