Women sometimes make gains during<br \/>\nconflict and their efforts to break the pattern of violence have led to a greater awareness of gender-based violence.

This study brings to light the<br \/>\ncomplexity of changes occurring during peace processes in a multi-level analysis of women\u2019s perceptions and positioning towards the state, their community,<br \/>\nand their intimate partnership. This comparative analysis of fifty-seven female activists\u2019 narratives from Chiapas and Northern Ireland demonstrates how a<br \/>\none-dimensional peace process (Northern Ireland) can limit the space for addressing women\u2019s concerns, while peace processes that transcend the ethnonational<br \/>\ndimension of conflict (Chiapas) can open a dialogue on issues of contention in male-female relationships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPIRe\u2019s Dr. Melanie Hoewer compares the experiences of women in the post-conflict peace processes in Northern Ireland and Chiapas in a new paper at the International Journal of Conflict and Violence.
