Listen to Her – Gendered Effects of the Conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh and Women’s Priorities for Peace

Kvinna till Kvinna has worked in South Caucasus for more than 15 years, and women have yet to access the roles they need to contribute meaningfully to peace negotiations in any of the conflicts in the region.

When it comes to the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, women are almost entirely left out of the peace processes. It has been labelled a frozen conflict, and regarded as such since the 1990’s. But for many living in the region, there is nothing frozen about this conflict.

This report explores women’s perspectives on conflict and peace-making, in order to understand:

  • The range of women’s positions, interests, needs and values, relating to their experience of conflict and violence, taking into account their diverse social positions;
  • The extent to which women constitute (or have both the potential and desire to constitute) an organised collective which can exert influence on the peace process.
