Description
This collection brings together conversations between feminists from different parts of the world that conceptualize and expand understandings of ‘feminist peace’. By shifting the focus away from war and conflict, which are central to the disciplines of international law and International Relations, the conversations explore peace, security and feminism as interlinked, asking what peace means or could mean when it is attendant to the everyday lives of women and girls. The conversations speak to the need for an intersectional peace, one embracing of the ‘simultaneity’ of oppressions that diverges from a state-centric, neoliberal, neo-colonial and patriarchal concept of peace.1 We asked the contributors to imagine and ask themselves what feminist peace is and, in answering, many of the contributors responded with reflections on the obstacles faced by those on the feminist frontlines. Feminist peace and feminist resistance go hand in hand in the fight for justice and equality against structural oppressions, conflict and violence, and in the context of a growing climate catastrophe.
