Transitional Justice, Gender Programming, and the UNSCR 1325

  • Sirkku Hellsten

Summary

The article examines the implementation of UNSCR 1325‘Women, Peace, and Security’ within the framework of post-colonial feminism. The author argues that in current international development co-operation, there is a need for deeper understanding of the complex, context-relevant social and political power structures and processes that prevent gender programming from enhancing gender justice. As an empirical case study the article discusses the challenges that the implementation of the UNSCR 1325 has been facing in Kenya.
