2019 – 2024
In 2019 DAWN launches The Political Economy of Conflict and Violence Against Women, building on nearly a decade of work on the theme. The book examines how political, economic, social, and ideological processes intersect to shape conflict-related, gender-based violence. The research draw on the lived realities and activism of women across conflict-affected contexts, including Colombia, Sudan and South Sudan, Northern Uganda, North East India, Sri Lanka, and Papua New Guinea.
Between 2022 and 2024, DAWN hosts two online and one in-person training in collaboration with Masimanyane Women’s Rights International. These sessions aim to collectively build knowledge and analysis on gender-based violence from a political economy perspective, grounded in the everyday experiences of participants working in various capacities to respond to and prevent gender-based violence.
