World Bank, Washington, D.C., 10 June 2010.
This workshop will present analytical research work commissioned by The World Bank on gender and conflict. The work was carried out by a group of HiCN researchers and will be used as background research for the two forthcoming World Development Reports on Security and Conflict and on Gender.
Women and men experience violent conflict differently, as actors, perpetrators and victims. Empirical analysis of the gender-differential is necessary to gain recognition of and muster support for a gendered approach in programs targeted at populations in conflict areas. Gender inequalities which existed before a conflict can be aggravated because of the conflict, but they can also radically alter. Under the direction of Philip Verwimp, six country case studies address the same set of questions and use similar methods.
