The Centre of Public Initiatives “Ideas for Change” (Kyiv), Polis180 (Berlin) and the IDP Women Association “Consent” (Tbilisi) are pleased to announce a call for applications for participation in the project

Women, Peace and Security: A Chance for Georgia’s and Ukraine’s Protracted Conflicts? 

#womenps

Selected participants will take part in workshops in Tbilisi (5-10 May 2019) and Kyiv (23-28 June 2019) where we’ll meet with experts from local and international governmental institutions and civil society organizations.

At a later stage, #womenps 2019 participants will be encouraged to apply for our #womenps alumni conference in Berlin (September 2019). The conference will bring together participants of our international Women, Peace and Security projects conducted in 2016, 2018 and 2019 and aims at producing policy-oriented research.

The #womenps project scrutinizes the roles of women in peace and security. What is the status of women’s rights and women’s participation in politics and society in Ukraine and Georgia? How do governmental and civil society actors, NGOs and mediators address issues of women, peace and security? Which special challenges do internally displaced women face? (How) does the situation differ between Ukraine and Georgia and what can be learned from the respective other? What could Germany and the EU do to strengthen gender, peace and security perspectives on the Ukrainian and Georgian conflicts? Beyond Georgia and Ukraine, the project sets out to increase our understanding of gendered dynamics in conflicts.
