VIToR RodRIGUES VIANA, JoRGE SAMPAIo, PHILIPPE ScHMITTER, ANA SANToS PINTo, MARIA doLoRES ALGoRA WEBER, cARLoS GASPAR Gender Violence in Armed conflicts GENdER VIoLENcE IN ARMEd coNFLIcTS Violence based on gender is considered the worst form of cruelty, that seriously inhibits the individual ability to enjoy rights and freedoms and seriously harms the transition from armed conflicts to peace. Moreover, it deeply affects women, girls, but also men and boys across the world, not only during armed conflicts but also long after the cessation of armed hostilities. Therefore, gender based violence undermines the link between security and development. Portugal’s National defense Institute was the very first governmental defense organization belonging to a NATo country, that sought the collaboration of the academia and a comprehensive set of other actors, in an effort to understand this phenomena. This volume is the result of an entire day of speeches, presentations, debates, discussions and exchanges between an international audience of academics, politicians, military officers, students, public officials, and representatives of non-governmental organizations.read more
