In person icon The political economy and international relations of gender based violence to broader global processes

Abstract

This panel examines how gender relations are constituted as well as experienced in relation to global/macroeconomic structures, including financial restructuring, development and peacebuilding, transitions, securitisation and militarisation. It explores violence and violations in state and non-state armed conflict, post-conflict zones and during peacekeeping/building missions; the increased trade with women’s bodies, and the growth of a sex trade around the creation of free trade zones and military sites. The panel welcome papers examining multiple forms of direct violence in conflict, post-conflict and transitional spaces, and papers on more indirect and structural forms of violence and violations, such as the relationship between women’s (lack of/poor) access to productive resources such as land, property, and income and the risk of being subjected to gender-based violence, and/or other critical accounts examining the gendered nature of crisis, conflict and violence in relation to broader global processes.
