A new research paper using the PeaceFem mediation app as a unique dataset offers new insights on women\u2019s inclusion in peace processes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In \u2018From Protests to Paper: Using PeaceFem to Analyse Women\u2019s Inclusion in Peace Processes<\/a>\u2019, PeaceRep researcher Laura Wise explores the peace process data included in the PeaceFem app.<\/p>\n

The paper is the first in PeaceRep\u2019s Peace Analytics Series<\/strong><\/a>, which presents the methodologies behind our leading PeaceTech innovations and contributes to a new research digital infrastructure in the field of peace and conflict studies.<\/p>\n

A subsequent report on geocoding for peace and conflict studies will be released in early November, followed by papers on topics including semantic analysis for peace analytics, understanding PeaceTech, and named entity recognition.

Findings from PeaceFem as a dataset<\/h4>\n

PeaceFem is a mobile app that illustrates women\u2019s inclusion in peace processes around the world. <\/span>A contribution to the growing field of PeaceTech, which uses technology to support peacebuilding and peace mediation, the app brings together data on women and peacemaking in one easy to-use app in English, Arabic, French, and Indonesian. It is intended for use as an information tool by women\u2019s rights advocates, mediation and negotiation teams, as well as other actors working in peace and security, and to act as inspiration for anyone interested in inclusive peace mediation. PeaceFem provides information about strategies and modalities that women have used to influence peace agreements, the enabling and constraining factors that shaped the space for influence, and the gender provisions in the peace agreements that resulted, with some information on how well they were implemented.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The paper uses the app to review common modalities of women\u2019s inclusion in 24 peace processes across a global context, gender provisions in the resultant peace agreements, and important factors that enable and constraining women\u2019s full and meaningful participation in conflict transitions. The app matches data from the <\/span>PA-X Gender Peace Agreement Database<\/span><\/a> (Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform: PeaceRep), the <\/span>Women in Peace and Transition Processes case study collection<\/span><\/a> (Inclusive Peace), and the <\/span>Towards Inclusive Peace: Mapping Gender Provisions in Peace Agreements case study collection<\/span><\/a> (Monash Centre for Gender, Peace, & Security). The resultant dataset covers 39 peace agreements across 24 peace processes in 22 countries, from 1993 to 2016, with a focus on framework agreements (peace agreements that deal with substantive issues as an attempt to resolve the conflict).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
