A lack of access to natural resources, including minerals, water and land, is often the underlying cause of many conflicts around the world. When managed properly however, as part of a peacebuilding strategy, these same resources can also be utilized, and their benefits shared to generate sustainable livelihoods that help guarantee peace and achieve sustainable human development.
Women have the potential to play a critical role in this process, as they use and manage land and other natural resources, while meeting water, food and energy needs in households and communities.
However, this use rarely translates into women being allowed to influence the distribution of natural resources or being given a decision making role when the management of resources is discussed and peace is negotiated.
This report analyzes the reasons behind this discrepancy, its implications for long-term peace and development and suggests some solutions.
Part one of the report examines the relationship between women and natural resources in peacebuilding contexts, reviewing key issues across three main categories of resources, including land, renewable and extractive resources.
Part two of the report discusses entry points for peacebuilding practitioners to address risks and opportunities related to women and natural resource management, focusing on political participation, protection and economic empowerment.
The report was published jointly by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)[DK1] , the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the United Nations Entity for Gender Equity and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), and the United Nations Peacebuilding Support Office (PBSO). It is the product of a two-year collaboration among the four partners.
Key findings
Women’s role as managers, users and beneficiaries of natural resources is an often unexplored opportunity for increasing their contribution to peacebuilding
Shifting gender norms in conflict-affected settings can be utilized to increase women’s participation in decision-making, and to enable them to engage in economic recovery more productively
Ignoring the role of women in resource management can perpetuate inequalities and grievances linked to natural resource rights, access and control, which have proven to be powerful catalysts for violence
Addressing issues of inequality related to resource access and ownership, participation in decision-making and benefit-sharing early on in the peacebuilding process is therefore a critical condition for lasting peace and development
THE SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF POPULATION DISPLACEMENT IN UKRAINE: THE RISKS OF M...DonbassFullAccess
This project explores the experiences of Ukrainians displaced by Russia’s annexation of Crimea and its de facto invasion of Ukraine’s eastern regions through the use of intersectional and interdisciplinary approaches. The project uses qualitative methodologies, namely, in-depth and semi-structured interviews with IDPs (n=104) and representatives of NGOs, international organisations, central authorities and regional authorities in Lviv, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhia and Mariupol oblast (n=25), as well as two focus groups with IDPs in northern oblasts. The project has also involved
collaboration with the Ukrainian Catholic University, and with the NGOs Dobrochyn, the Chernihiv Centre for Human Rights, Donbas SOS and the Platform for Cultural Initiatives
IZOLYATSIA.
The empirical work for this project was conducted in 2017-2018, which allows reflection on changes in IDPs’ situation after almost four years of conflict (see Kuznetsova 2017), as well as evaluation of the social consequences of recent changes in legislation regarding displaced people in Ukraine. In addition, the project team gathered secondary statistical data to facilitate the economic analysis. The study has also made use of a number of large-scale IDP needs assessments and cash assistance reports which, funded by the European Union, USAID and the governments of Japan and Canada, have been implemented by the International Organization for Migration and other UN agencies, with the assistance of Ukraine’s Ministry of Social Policy and Ministry for Temporarily Occupied Territories and IDPs. The economic analysis also relies on a series of accounts by investigative journalists and personal testimonies from the non-government controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.

2. CTPSR Matters, Issue 2
In February 2016 the CTPSR welcomes four
Commonwealth Professionals, Louis Acheampong
from Ghana, Eric Ngang from Cameroon, Jacinta
Okwaro from Kenya and Godfrey Tumuhairwe
from Uganda. All have significant experience in the
environmental governance from civil society, the
media, international organisations and the private
sector. Over six weeks they will meet researchers
and organisations in Coventry and across the
country to learn more about natural resource
governance and peace building in the UK. They
will also share their experiences, from working in
different African contexts, with colleagues across
the University. The CTPSR team will also work
with the Fellows to build networks and develop
further collaborative research. For further
information about the programme please contact

Award Contesting
States of Desire:
sustaining LGBTQ
lives in refugee youth
In January CTPSR hosted the last of our creative
workshops to mark the end of the collaboration between
EJ at CTPSR, Churnjeet Mahn from the English Faculty
at the University of Strathclyde and a national
organisation working with young people from refugee
backgrounds.
The workshop brought 13 people to the Centre to discuss
race, ethnicity, queer arts and activism before creating
a series of collages, photo stories and films exploring
cultural and societal attitudes to race, faith and sexuality.
These images show some of the creative process from an
initial collage to storyboards. The final films will hopefully
be screened at a CTPSR seminar later in the year as we are
hoping to invite some of the participants to the Centre to
show you some of the films and discuss the process (not
least to show you what can be created in the blank canvas
that is IV5!). In the meantime sincere thanks must go to
Mike Hardy and the Centre for donating the multi-media
equipment and to Jane and Ali for ordering and
processing it all and arranging the logistics of the
weekend.

Visual activism and
social justice

has been published by Current Sociology: 2016, Vol. 64(1)

Visual activism and social justice: Using visual methods to
make young people’s complex lives visible across ‘public’ and
‘private’ spaces is available via

This paper came from an ESRC funded project ‘Young
people creating belonging: Spaces, sights and sounds’. For a
full pdf of the project report and research findings and for
a multi-media site presenting project photos, films, music
and sounds, please see www.researchunbound.org.uk/
young-people-creating-belonging
Much critical social justice research,
including work employing visual
methods, focuses on young people’s use of public spaces
leaving domestic spaces relatively unexplored. Such research
tacitly maintains modernist notions of the public/private
distinction in which the private sphere is considered less
relevant to concerns of social justice. However, UK crime and
social justice policy has increasingly intervened in the home
lives of the poorest British families. Further, such policies
have been legitimated by drawing on (or not contesting)
media imagery that constructs these family lives almost
entirely negatively, obscuring their complexity. Drawing on
childhood studies research, and a project that employed visual
methods to explore belonging among young people in foster,
kinship or residential care, this article examines participants’
often fragile efforts to find or forge places in which they could
feel ‘at home’ and imagine a future. In so doing, it invites
visual activists to reconsider their understanding of public
and private spaces in order to contest prevalent
unsympathetic policy representations of poorer young
people’s lives, to focus greater attention on their need for
support, and to extend imaginations of their futures.

Dr. Bahar Baser’s article
“Transnationale Solidarität
innerhalb deutscher
Grenzen: Die Auswirkungen
der GeziProteste auf die
Diaspora aus der Türkei”
has been accepted for
publication in a special
issue on social movements in Europe in the Journal of
Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen, 16/2 . The article
is about the German-Turkish Diaspora’s reactions to the
Gezi Protests in Turkey in 2013 and how these events
affected Turkish-German diplomatic relations.
Migration from Turkey to
Sweden
Dr. Bahar Baser has also signed a book contract with
I.B.Tauris for an edited volume which will be co-edited
with Dr. Paul Levin and Prof.Hans-Ingvar Roth from
Stockholm University. The book is called “Migration
from Turkey to Sweden: Integration, Belonging and
Transnational Community” and it is expected to be
published in 2017. The book includes chapters from
