Prevent, Protect, Participate! Women’s Roles in Peace and Security
10/19/2017The IPS India Forum will host an international workshop on the topic of Women, Peace and Security on November 30 and December 1, 2017, in Würzburg.
As part of the M.S. Merian – R. Tagore International Centre of Advanced Studies (ICAS New Delhi), the Thematic Module 5 (Gender as a political category) considers gender issues as an imperative dimension of the overarching MICAS theme of “The Metamorphoses of the Political”, to which various disciplines from the Würzburg research group of TM 5 are contributing.
As long as UN-Resolution 1325 has not yet become entire reality and the role of women in matters of peace and security is not fully mainstreamed (Nandi-Ndaitwah 2015), scholars ought to have a special eye on the weal and woe of the “Women, Peace and Security” (WPS) implementation process. The ICAS workshop “Prevent, Protect, Participate! Women`s roles in peace and security” provides the opportunity to reflect in depth on the challenges and prospects of WPS.
