In order to create a space for
new voices in the spheres of academia, policy-making and practice, in 2005
INSTRAW launched a new research-paper series entitled New Voices, New
Perspectives. Directed towards recent post-graduate students
worldwide, this paper series is intended as an opportunity for students
enrolled in gender-related programmes to contribute to global debates and
to our communal sphere of knowledge on women’s and gender issues.
The 2005 Call for Papers
focused on some of INSTRAW’s priority research areas, including Gender,
Governance and Women’s Political Participation; Gender, Migration and
Remittances; and Gender, Peace and Security. The Papers selected and
published in 2005* are listed below, and cover a variety of topics from
women’s participation in the water sector in Nepal to the gender
dimensions of the Responsibility to Protect Doctrine.
