These hypotheses are that (1) electoral systems manipulate womenโ€™s political em- powerment; (2) increased popular participation empowers women in particular; and (3) accumulated experience gained over several electoral cycles facilitates increased political empowerment of women.…

Gendered Impacts on Operational Effectiveness of UN Peace Operations

Peacebuilding & Negotiation

Currently, women are underrepresented in peacekeeping. As of January 2021, women make up fewer than 5% of all military personnel, 11% of personnel in formed police units, and 28% of individual police officers on peacekeeping missions. And yet, the authors find that across various missions, women’s participation improves community engagement and changes the narrative of womenโ€™s roles…

Girls in Fighting Forces and Groups: Their Recruitment, Participation, Demobilization, and Reintegration

Armed Conflict Participation

Abstract The question “Where are the girls?” is seldom raised in discussions about children or adolescents who are members of fighting forces and groups.
