The relevance of gender-sensitive human rights for effective and long-lasting peace­building has been demon­strated by nume­rous feminist studies. While there is ample research on the role and relev­ance of gender-sensitive peace­building, the issues of back­lash against and resistance to those rights and gen­der equality more broadly in this context has received little syste­matic attention. In the new PRIF Report 6/2023 “Backlash Against and Resistance to Feminist Peacebuilding”, the authors focus precisely on these issues. Based on 33 interviews with key stake­holders, they explore how and to what extent the reali­zation of gender-sensitive human rights policies in peaceb­uilding efforts experience such backlash or resistance. The report also sheds light on the counter-measures and strategies used by peace­builders. Finally, the authors discuss the impact of feminist foreign policy on gender-sensitive human rights in peace­building.
