Kategorie: Queering the Women, Peace and Security Agenda

The Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) Agenda has been pivotal in addressing gendered challenges in conflict and peacebuilding. However, it often neglects the voices and experiences of lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LBTQ) women. Our new focus topic explores the need to ‘queer’ the WPS agenda, a process that questions and reimagines its foundational frameworks to include LGBTQ+  perspectives.
