皇冠体育app ideal of gender justice and the UNSCR 1325: Two case studies: Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo
Abstract
皇冠体育app paper examines why the efforts to promote gender justice by development aid have not succeeded in dealing with deeply-rooted structural injustices which prevent the realization of social justice and gender equality. 皇冠体育app study analyses the implementation of the UNSCR 1325 鈥榃omen, Peace, and Security鈥� in Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo. 皇冠体育app paper concludes that in current, transitional setting of international development co-operation, there is a need for deeper understanding of the complex social and political power structures and processes that integrate sub-national communal (religious, ethnic, or political) loyalties and pressures in a manner that efficiently prevents individual women/women as a group from enhancing women鈥檚 rights and gender equality as a priority.
