Women in Armed Conflict
The ENTRi Pilot Specialisation Course seeks to bring a new dimension to the advancement of women, specifically, women affected by Armed Conflict. Their security, their wellbeing, and their empowerment shall be highlighted in this course, which is timely, as it provides an opportunity to focus on the condition of women in light of powerful international instruments as UNSCR 1325, UNSCR 1825, and the Millennium Development Goals. It presents a comprehensive picture of the daunting challenges still threatening fragile and vulnerable war affected women. A forum for reflection on these vital issues is provided through the Specialisation Course and the search for ways to address them constitutes its essence.
Examining the plight of women in post conflict and war affected countries through case studies, for example, shall enable participants to analyse concrete situations where application of gender theories running the gamut from gender-based violence to political empowerment find practical application.
Practitioners shall gain exceptional insights which will propel them to advance the cause of women in this precarious condition. Taking all this into account, this Specialisation Course shall be a new impetus to positively motivate and impact women in general!
