Pushing Back the Pushback? WPS, Power Politics, and Liberal Retreat - PRIF BLOG

Twenty-five years after its adoption, the Women, Peace and Security agenda is operating within a different political landscape. Power politics is returning, militarization is accelerating, and the anti-rights pushback is intensifying.

Who Gets to Mourn? Rethinking Grief, Resistance and the Everyday Politics of Peace in Colombia - PRIF BLOG

What does it mean to resist when there are no slogans, no marches, no chants, only grief? This piece argues that the Women, Peace and Security agenda—despite its historic contributions—has often reduced women’s political agency to visibility, voice, and institutional participation. A feminist lens invites us to look beyond this framing and recognise the everyday, intimate, and affective forms of resistance through which women remember the dead, survive violence, and hold broken communities together.
