Women, peace and security in Nepal: from Civil War to post-conflict reconstruction

This text sheds new light on the important but diverse roles of women in the Civil War in Nepal (1996-2006), and the post-conflict reconstruction period (2006-2016).

Engaging critically with the women, peace and security literature, this book questions the potential of peace processes to become a window of opportunity for women's empowerment, while insisting on the vital importance of a gender perspective in the study of conflict, security and peace.
