This unit offers a gender perspective on security and human rights, with a focus on gender, race, and sexuality as relations of power in peace, conflict, and conflict-affected settings. The unit covers themes related to the security and human rights policy architecture in the international system, the challenges of pursuing human rights and peace activism, violations of human rights, forms of insecurity, and the role of civil society groups in advocating for human rights. Attention will be given to the gendered and racialised nature of human rights and to specific issues related to security and human rights that have differently distributed effects for various individuals and communities.
