Armed Conflict and Women: Narratives of lived experience

Abstract

The world has witnessed the long history of armed conflict, starting from the conflict between Israel and Palestine to the conflict in Syria to the existing conflict in Kashmir. The present paper is based on the armed conflict prevailing in Kashmir and how women are impacted by the conflict. The researcher has collected the voice of women who are direct and indirect victims of this armed conflict. Although conflict is gendered, collection of victims voices serve to include women in peacebuilding and conflict resolution processes.
