Unhappy birthday! Women, Peace and Security at 25
This year–2025–the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda marks its 25th anniversary, a milestone that invites both reflection and reckoning. WPS was born from United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325, unanimously adopted on October 31, 2000, and few at the time could have foreseen how widely it would spread, becoming the largest thematic domain of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), and sparking hundreds of national action…
Constructing the local woman peacebuilder in the Women, Peace and Security agenda: Iraqi women’s participation in local peacebuilding programmes
The ‘local’ as a site of peacebuilding and as a subject position has played a significant role in scholarly debates on peacebuilding and international intervention, and increasingly so in work on the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda. Local women are called upon to represent the conflict experience, and localisation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda is becoming part of the rhetoric around implementation. This article ex…
Introduction: A feminist international relations approach to the Middle East/North Africa
The articles in this Special Issue draw on feminist IR literature and research within Middle East women’s studies – which has its own association and journal – and seek to expand it by contributing research from scholars that center the Middle East region and issues in their gender and IR work. Across the social sciences, MENA feminist scholars have long contributed important analyses of the state, nationalism, revolution, family law, social poli…
Beyond conflict-related sexual violence: The continuum of violence in Iraq’s Women, Peace and Security action plans
Women’s experiences of conflict and their roles in its prevention have become an increasingly large focus for feminist scholars, particularly since the adoption of the Women, Peace and Security agenda in 2000. Iraq has been at the forefront of engagement with the Women, Peace and Security agenda, being the first Middle East state to adopt a national action plan. This article analyses Iraq’s Women, Peace and Security action plans, largely drafted …
Women, Peace and Security across scales: Exclusions and opportunities in Iraq's WPS engagements
While space, positionality, hierarchy and location have been central undercurrents to understanding women's participation and uptake of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, there has been little conceptual clarity about how these dynamics play out in post-conflict settings, nor on the impact that this has on women's civil society networks in these locations. In turn, this silence depoliticizes, decontextualizes and flattens the complex and…
The impact of UN Security Council resolution 2242 in Australia, the UK and Sweden
The Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda is anchored in ten United Nations Security Council resolutions addressing gender equality and women’s rights in peace and security governance. The codification of the WPS agenda in the adopted resolutions establishes standards of practice to be adopted by UN member states and entities to prioritise women’s role as agents in peace and security settings and respond to women’s specific security needs. This …
Interrogating the “local” in Women, Peace and Security: Reflections on research on and in the UK and Iraq
The “local” plays an important yet ambiguous role in the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. In each of our PhD research projects, the term “local” came up frequently during our fieldwork: in readings, in interviews, and in policy and advocacy documents. The local is often used as a descriptor for both a place (the “everyday”) and a group of actors (the “local population”), which for WPS often refers to the constituency of “women and girls” l…

The Geopolitics of Social Reproduction and Depletion: The Case of Iraq and Palestine
This article explores the relationships between social reproduction, depletion, and geopolitical processes, drawing on two case studies: Iraq and Palestine. It underlines the importance of social reproduction to geopolitical processes and of particular geopolitical contexts to how states intervene in social reproduction, with differential implications for depletion. It argues that Iraqi state measures targeting social reproduction have sought to …
