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.
