In a new PRIO Paper, Senior Researcher Wenche Iren Hauge assesses how the reintegration processes of ex-combatants affect their political participation. The paper draws on case studies from Guatemala, Nepal and Colombia.
The second issue in 2017 the PRIO Gender, Peace and Security Update is now out.

The third 2016 issue of the PRIO Gender, Peace and Security Update is now out.
The lead story in this issue looks at approaches to integrating gender into foreign policy, with examples from Australia and Sweden. The story is based on talks by Professor Jacqui True (Monash University) and Professor Karin Aggestam (Lund University) at the recent PRIO seminar 'Gender in Foreign Policy', held on 23 September 2016.
The lead story in this issue of the GPS Update is an interview with PRIO’s research partners from Nepal and Myanmar about the new project ‘Gender Equality, Peace and Security in Nepal and Myanmar’.
The lead story in this issue of the GPS Update is Kaja Borchgrevink's research on women engaging in Islamic charity seen as 'development agents'.
Both genders – female and male – can be actors as well as victims in armed conflict, depending on the context. Changed gender roles among ex-combatants of armed groups constitute a potential source of change towards more balanced gender relations in the larger postconflict society. It is necessary to take into account the particular needs of victims of armed conflict, but it is equally important to bear in mind that female and male conflict actors also represent resources that bring their new skills and experiences into the post-conflict situation. |
We are happy to announce that the Research Council of Norway (NORGLOBAL) has funded another 3-year PRIO project Gender Equality, Peace and Security in Nepal and Myanmar (WOMENsPEACE). The project starts up in February 2016. It will be led by Wenche Iren Hauge and includes Åshild Kolås, and researchers in Nepal and Myanmar.
