| dc.description.abstract | This research project is aimed at explaining how it was possible for women's organizations in Colombia to actively participate in the latest peace negotiations between the government and the FARC-EP and also to succeed in including the recognition of gender issues such as the specific impacts the conflict has had on women as well as conflict-related sexual violence in the final peace accord. This question arose against the background of the UN's so far insufficient attempts to effectively include women in peace and reconciliation processes as specified in UNSCR 1325. Why Colombia was more successful in this regard is investigated with regard to a theoretical framework based on the interplay of framing, political opportunity and mobilizing structures. The results suggest that Colombian women were able to reach their objectives by framing themselves as active peacebuilders and violence against women in conflict as a human rights issue while at the same time making use of political opportunities such as institutional access, influential allies and windows of opportunity, and drawing on their own mobilizing structures consisting of different types of knowledge, organizational entrepreneurs and a heterogeneous constituency. | en_US |
