This seminar will set out the issues for women in gaining inclusion in peace processes. Drawing on the PA-X peace agreement database, it will examine the entry points for women to influence agendas for change, examine the type of peace agreement provisions which result, and consider the obstacles to implementation. Throughout the seminar will consider questions as to what a 'gender perspective' in peace processes is, and the challenges of influencing change given the double challenges of the multiple levels of exclusion from peace negotiations, and the difficulty with formulating any non-essentialised concept of the 'women's agenda for change'.
