par · Publié · Mis à jour

As part of the the Academic Collaboration research project, the LSE MEC and AUD are organising a workshop at the University of Kurdistan-Hewlêr in Erbil on 27 May 2014. This workshop focuses on the relationship between international actors in institutional reconstruction and gender relations in Kurdistan-Iraq since 2003. The workshop will particularly assess the attempts to improve women’s status in this region, the areas of progress and problems that emerged. It will also provide a forum for discussing the implications of policies for the future of gender equality and for recommending new policies and courses of action.

We invite abstracts for proposed papers on the theme of state-building and gender relations in Kurdistan-Iraq, focusing on the following topics:

  • State-building and institutional changes focused on gender since 2003
  • UN activities concerned with the issue of gender
  • The role of local and international women’s NGOs in increasing awareness of gender equality and improving the status of women
  • The relationships between the UN, the government and local NGOs: opportunities and challenges
  • Long-term views of the status of women: continuities and discontinuities from 1991 to today
  • Government responses to violence against women and the implications of changes in women’s political participation
  • Women’s status and the impact of new policies since 2003: differences and similarities between urban and rural areas
  • Actions and policies aimed at improving gender equality: prioritising ‘equality of opportunity’ or ‘equality of outcome’?
