Women, Peace and Security in the Digital Age

Join co-creators of the PeaceFem app, and experts on Women, Peace and Security, peace and conflict, and PeaceTech, to discuss the opportunities and challenges that the Digital Age offers women’s equality advocates trying to influence conflict transitions. Discussions will reflect on how women peacebuilders utilise PeaceTech to leverage inclusion, how technology can also restrict women’s meaningful participation, and why Women, Peace and Security advocates are increasingly using peace and conflict data to support their work. The main discussion event will be followed by a drinks reception and opportunities for networking.

The PeaceFem mobile app is a contribution to the growing field of PeaceTech, which uses technology to support peacebuilding. Designed for women’s rights advocates, mediation and negotiation teams, and other peace and security actors, PeaceFem shares strategies for influencing peace processes, as well as the resulting gender-sensitive provisions in peace agreements and data on their implementation.

This event is hosted by PeaceRep: The Peace and Conflict Resolution Evidence Platform, a research consortium based at Edinburgh Law School.
