one located in a sense of international corporation security which is research sensor within p

studies and essentially due in the seven so kicks i'm not equal is really a

mixture of the theoretical work on complete peace and also applied research intensity applied research

what major projects that i'm currently working on

is in collaboration with a major european development agency i'm looking at gender based violence

and specifically looking at how violence against women and girls changes i of course complex

and then through to the beginnings of peace because one of the key issues of

tend to find in p studies

is that the beginning of peace doesn't necessarily mean that the structures of the inequalities

of discrimination that created complex architecture is complete and first place a necessary eliminated so

the car whatever is very much focused on how violence against women changes once the

complete as and it so specifically were looking around issues such as

sexual violence against women psychological violence also physical violence against women girls and in countries

are coming out to complete sound which are in principle into peace well as a

set of the main problem so we find is that the violence against the girls

tends to be structurally embedded and it's consequently a picture at during this time

what we try to do with the gender based violence research projects is to engage

the empirical information which is coming out of these countries where only in the country

so make sure that we have information coming from the ground as well

and then essentially trying to be that information right assumptions are hopeful fully data is

currently on and points on this project

with making recommendations what we call dialogue actually points for this study

so that when they are working in the country like that will be key issues

are

and there is about which they can try to get elements of the size and

you guys in a country in order to announce the position of women and girls

unstressed cools types one and something slice

so for example one of the case that is that what working on in the

base files would you be projected guatemala a what we further works on so far

what small set out with girls treated during guatemala's very long violence and bloody civil

war

on what was always higher levels of violence at which we specifically into the targets

of women because the agenda and second of violence that was a very targeted i

found that this was mean so what we found for example but also write a

very sexual once the case management what's more complex

what we introduce follow through what's happening got smaller since the peace process in a

country in the nineteen point is always signal work is that forms the nature of

violence are still that in one small is just the kind of tight final instance

change see how underlying structural

drivers that violence which created a quiet environment ones to complete

the structure i still that

we need to keep your indigenous woman having a smaller or if you or you

go they face enormous by seem almost discrimination in the legal system that the route

illustration framework state in a high ratio society

so what we're trying to do in our current work is look at "'em" identifiable

concept falls violence against girls got smaller are more scenes this patch duration high levels

of sexual violence physical patel as you can swim it but in the high but

also a outside streets

implication that the security forces are simply not competitive and remove their implications that's and

strategic forces themselves somehow involved in this violence and so what we're trying to do

for our data is to a guy identify reliable points elaborate for what kind of

violence what do you think what's more and try to ensure that when the data

is engaged on

discussions about objective islands in guatemala that the fully for the they have a realistic

like to the best urges pressing points are around the gender baselines gender

thank you think that is which we find in or applied what is that's turn

is kind have incredibly annoying intentions they wanna go into a country and i do

want to try to make the situation better but sometimes what we find that it

is that if there is that have a full realistic appreciation of that country but

also for a detailed study of conflict

then they can actually make interventions which a complete insensitive they can actually reignite complex

all the constraints that which those factors which cells can create conflict so the way

that we approach this what we target speech my reflected ideas and he's real which

they need to be very sensitive

because in that specific country cultural context

then their ideas progressive most beneficial for that site see what community microphone but misleading

i we find that in relation see for example of patriarchy

and gender relations in the country you can have died which are we going to

a country identified impoverishment swimming and as a serious course of quantity column and some

possible feature complete

the degree going with the best of intentions and develop a micro credit program made

the problem that might be that if you and how women without quite financial resources

you create their independence and autonomy and that conditional social relations the family of what

you tend to find rising violence against women which is

carried out by the host but by my upon because you created a balance and

family so you have to be hugely sensing how you want to design these interventions

and how you evaluate the because really what remains to be a is peace complex

sensed it is possible addressing these kind of structural violence a stock sometimes finds policy

also the same time make sure that you to create you dangers and you cycles

of inequality next
