Assistant Professor Amy Barrow examines how the perpetuation of gender-based violence is often shaped by distinct cultural norms, laws, and policies, using examples from within Asia. The webinar considers how states in Asia have responded to international legal instruments including CEDAW and the Security Council Resolution 1325.

Professor Jacqui True outlines a feminist political economy approach that helps to identify the linkages between sexual and gender-based violence against women, gender inequalities, and the global/regional structural processes that exacerbate violence and conflict.

In our fourth episode Professor Janie Leatherman discusses the causes and consequences of sexual violence in contemporary armed conflict. She addresses the new trends in conflict-related sexual violence and arising challenges in humanitarian responses, reflecting on current strategies of prevention, protection, and caring.

In the third episode of our Women's Power to Stop War Series, Vanessa Farr takes on four major international instruments; Security Council Resolutions 1325, 2122, the Arms Trade Treaty and the new CEDAW General Recommendation 30.
