Gendered Dimensions of Hunger in Peacebuilding

Funder: Irish Research Council

Partnering institutions: Centre for Study of Violence and Reconciliation, Johannesburg, SA

The Gendered Dimensions of Hunger in Peacebuilding (GDHP) project is a three-year Irish Research Council-funded COALESCE project that investigates whether and how gendered aspects of food insecurity and food rights have been addressed in peacebuilding and peace processes. It seeks to understand how women and girls’, and men and boys’, experiences of food insecurity and/or violations of their right to food during conflict, have been considered and included in post-conflict transitions. The overall aim of the research is to produce evidence that can be used to improve peacebuilding and post-conflict transitions. Specifically, we hope the outcomes of this research can improve how women and girls’ and men and boys’ rights and experiences are included and addressed in post-conflict political processes.
