Feminist Impetus for Sustainable Development Goals, Peace and Security
Description
Peace and security are essential for the stability, harmony, and prosperity of individuals, institutions, societies, and states. Recognizing their significance, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) rightly prioritize these political and social imperatives. Women play a crucial role in fostering peace and security by addressing
the root causes of conflict through values of compassion, coexistence, and mutual respect. The articles in this book emphasize the feminist drive for achieving SDGs, drawing on personal experiences, institutional work, research, and expertise. The authors shed light on the persistent gender deficit in peacebuilding and propose
actionable strategies to bridge the gap. Despite comprising nearly 50% of the global population, women remain underrepresented in public life and institutional leadership, even in so-called developed democracies. Several essays in the book examine this persistent gender disparity. The contributors affirm that women often possess essential skills in resilience, reconciliation, and conflict resolution-all critical for sustainable peace
and security.
