Abstract

With a focus on Timor Leste and gender, this paper explores how human security can be operationalized in a nations’ post-conflict period as a framework and tool to not only to protect citizens “free from fear and want” but also to empower vulnerable groups, most notably women, in the process of peacebuilding and national reconstruction.
