Download and read online ebook Gender, Violence and Politics in the Democratic Republic of Congo write by Dr Jane Freedman. This book was released on 2015-11-28. Gender, Violence and Politics in the Democratic Republic of Congo available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Despite the high profile media reporting on sexual violence in the DRC, and the widely publicized responses of the international community, there is still very little real analysis of the real situation of women in the country. This book provides such detailed analysis of gender relations in the DRC, and goes beyond the usual explanations of sexual violence as a product of conflict, to examine the complex and socially constructed gender norms and roles which underlie incidences of violence. The book benefits from a comprehensive account of men’s and women’s roles in conflict, violence, peace building and reconstruction, and evaluates the impacts of national and international political responses.

Download and read online ebook Women and Power in Post-Conflict Africa write by Aili Mari Tripp. This book was released on 2015-10-20. Women and Power in Post-Conflict Africa available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The book explains an unexpected consequence of the decrease in conflict in Africa after the 1990s. Analysis of cross-national data and in-depth comparisons of case studies of Uganda, Liberia and Angola show that post-conflict countries have significantly higher rates of women's political representation in legislatures and government compared with countries that have not undergone major conflict. They have also passed more legislative reforms and made more constitutional changes relating to women's rights. The study explains how and why these patterns emerged, tying these outcomes to the conjuncture of the rise of women's movements, changes in international women's rights norms and, most importantly, gender disruptions that occur during war. This book will help scholars, students, women's rights activists, international donors, policy makers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and others better understand some of the circumstances that are most conducive to women's rights reform today and why.

Download and read online ebook Mobilizing Transnational Gender Politics in Post-Genocide Rwanda write by Dr Rirhandu Mageza-Barthel. This book was released on 2015-08-28. Mobilizing Transnational Gender Politics in Post-Genocide Rwanda available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Mageza-Barthel addresses issues of ‘global governance’ in gender politics through such international frameworks as CEDAW, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, as well as Resolution 1325. These instruments have been brought forth by a transnational women’s movement to benefit women and women’s rights across the globe. This book shows how these gender norms were introduced, adapted and contested locally at a crucial time of the transformation process underway. Concerned with the interplay of domestic and international politics, it also alludes to the unique circumstances in Rwanda that have led to unprecedented levels of women’s political representation.
