An Intersectional Feminist Critique of Cyberlibertarian’s Grip on the Construction of Online Freedom
The impacts of online hate speech include emotional and embodied harms that have sometimes stunted careers, resulted in lost wages and missed job opportunities, and damaged relationships (both personal and professional). Despite the real-world negative impacts of digital hate speech, many resist regulations that would mitigate these harms. What is behind the anti-regulatory stance against preventative measures to reduce online hate speech? We arg…
Postcards from the Pandemic: Women, Intersectionality, and Gendered Risks in the Global Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 crisis created, and continues to produce, unprecedented challenges globally. Marginalized and racialized families, communities, and nations are experiencing their worst impacts, and in particular, women and girls are the hardest hit. The most pressing concerns raised by COVID-19 include a surge in gender-based violence, a rise in care burden, the feminization of poverty, and growing unemployment, largely in the Global South and confl…
Women, peace and security: Digitalization and cyber feminist solidarity building in the global South
Since its launch in 2000, the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 on Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) and resulting WPS agenda are widely used by intergovernmental, governmental, and civil society actors to advance women's participation in peace and security matters. This paper investigates WPS-cyber sphere connections to uncover the implications for the WPS agenda in the digital realm. We ask: How can digital information and …
Women Politicians Responding to Patriarchy in Postconflict Nepal
Women’s movements have played a crucial role in fighting for women’s rights and freedoms. Some women join the armed movements in search of equality. Women have participated in grassroots movements demanding space in the political arena. For example, postwar countries like Burundi, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Rwanda have effectively passed women’s quota seats (as part of a peace deal) thanks to women’s movements, and this has helped women to enter politi…
Do Local Norms Affect Women Ex-Combatants Reintegration in the Postwar Era
This paper examines local gender norms and their effects on the reintegration of women ex-combatants after they returned from active conflict in Nepal. The paper points out specific local gender norms that affect women ex-combatants in a particular way. Further, the paper argues how these local norms shape and reshape women’s postwar lives and gender roles. The paper’s findings demonstrate that local gender norms associated with women’s appearanc…
Disrupting the Saviour Politics in the Women, Peace and Security Agenda in the Global South: Grassroots Women Creating Gender Norms in Nepal and Sri Lanka
Saviour politics permeates some understandings of global gender norms by those who construct the Global North as the origin of global gender norms, and less attention is given to how saviour politics functions within the Global South, wielded by some privileged women against grassroots women. We argue that grassroots Global South women, despite their marginalisation, are global gender norms actors and deserve greater decision-making power on the …
Gendered experience of disaster: Women's account of evacuation, relief and recovery in Nepal
Rethinking women, peace, and security through the localization of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 & National Action Plans: A study of Nepal and Sri Lanka
Women, Peace, and Security and Increasing Gendered Risk in the Era of Covid-19: Insights from Nepal and Sri Lanka
This article analyzes the effects of COVID-19 on women and girls. It examines policy responses to the pandemic crisis and its implications on the women, peace, and security (WPS) agenda in postwar Nepal and Sri Lanka. Building on our previous work in Nepal and Sri Lanka, we rely on secondary studies, news sources, and governmental and nongovernmental organization reports and social media from March 2020 through March 2022 to demonstrate our argum…
Conflict, disaster and changing gender roles in Nepal: Women's Everyday Experiences
Nepal suffered from the civil conflict from 1996 to 2006 as the Communist party of Nepal (so-called Maoist) sought to end the monarchical system that had been in place for 240 years and establish a People's Republic. The Maoist-party ideology was highly focused upon the structural transformation of the country and had a strong message about women's empowerment. The conflict brought a dramatic shift in the social, economic, and the political situa…
Everyday realities of reintegration: Experiences of Maoist 'verified' women ex-combatants in the aftermath of war in Nepal
Global studies of women’s experiences in the disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) process have explored its implications for women in the post-war period. Scholars have also already pointed out that ex-combatants in Nepal are facing difficulties in the reintegration period. This paper examines in particular the consequences of the DDR process for so-called Maoist ‘verified’ women ex-combatants, those who were formally acknowledged …
Living Maoist gender ideology: Experiences of women ex-combatants in Nepal
Studies of women’s participation in civil conflict as armed combatants have attributed diverse motivations to such participation and examined the implications of participation for women’s empowerment in the aftermath. The authors contribute to these studies through an in-depth analysis of female combatants’ struggles for equality and empowerment during and after Nepal’s decade-long Maoist conflict. Scholars have argued that the emphasis of Maoist…
