💟 Women’s movements often play a central role in bringing warring parties to peace negotiations, and women are more sceptical than men of certain common post-conflict practices. 🌐 As war rages in Gaza, Sudan and Ukraine, it may feel premature to talk about peace. But the international community must ensure that women are included in any peace process. 📢 "Previous research shows that when women are involved in peace processes in influential, meaningful ways, this decreases the risk of a return to war and increases the legitimacy and quality of the peace agreement.” Read The Evidence by Josephine Lethbridge, sponsored by Sage 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dwBXd7gS

The latest edition of The Evidence newsletter, sponsored by Sage, looks at how post-conflict peace processes often overlook the needs of women, and what needs to change. Read it here: https://ow.ly/t1cC50SomRK And view the archive on Social Science Space: https://ow.ly/hHu850SomRL Les Glorieuses
