GENDER & PEACE RESEARCH - PRIO

Background | Gender Research Conference | Topics |
Research at PRIO on gender, peace and conflict addresses the
different effects of armed conflict on men and women, men’s and women’s
different security needs, and their different capacities for peacebuilding. It
studies the gendered character of perceptions, values and experiences, and the
ways in which these shape understandings of conflict. We seek to be at the
forefront of both conceptual and empirical research in the field. We employ a
broad array of research methodologies, ranging from fieldwork, statistical
methods and interview studies to textual study and theory development.
Our research is guided by a focus on academic
excellence. Engaging with the foremost international researchers and research
institutions in Europe, Africa and the
