Description:
Sustainable feminist peace requires a challenge to the gendered root causes of violence. This project works locally, nationally and globally by building alliances between women peace activists and men allies and creating critical space for solidarity dialogues. It also supports evidence-based research that aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of gendered power relations and how these relations influence, and are influenced by violence, armed conflict, and war. Finally, the outcomes from the research and dialogues work to inform advocacy in human rights bodies, the disarmament fora, and Women Peace and Security debates to strengthen international gender conflict analysis and the Women Peace and Security Agenda.

Expected Results:
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) strengthened alliances by mobilising men to work with women for feminist peace; (2) improved knowledge of stakeholders on gendered root causes of violence; and (3) enhanced actions to implement Women Peace and Security agenda.

Program Purpose:
The Peace and Stabilization Operations Program (PSOPs) is an integral component of the Government of Canada’s toolbox to prevent and respond to conflicts and crises abroad. It supports rapid, effective, whole-of-government coordinated responses to a wide range of challenges and serves as a valuable instrument for supporting stability in conflict-affected regions. PSOPs provides visible and concrete assistance in response to conflicts and crises abroad through targeted programming, the deployment of Canadian police officers (in partnership with Public Safety Canada and the RCMP) and civilian personnel, and direct support to the UN and multilateral peace operations, conflict prevention, mediation, and peacebuilding efforts.
