| Abstract: | Part 3: Women and Security
In this lecture I will consider the Security Council’s understanding of security and will ask what security does, or could, mean for women in the contemporary context of changing forms of violence. I will also address what has been termed the ‘securitisation’ of the Women, Peace and Security agenda. The lecture will conclude by considering whether the Women, Peace and Security agenda can constitute an international legal regime that conforms with the realities of women’s lives and even have some transformative impact on the structures and processes of international law. |
