GENDERED DIMENSIONS OF HUNGER IN PEACEBUILDING

The Gendered Dimensions of Hunger in Peacebuilding (GDHP) project investigates whether and how gendered aspects of food insecurity and food rights have been addressed in peacebuilding and peace processes. It seeks to understand how women and girls’, and men and boys’, experiences of food insecurity and/or violations of their right to food during conflict, have been considered and included in post-conflict transitions. 

The project is co-led by Dr Caitriona Dowd at University College Dublin, Ireland and Ms Liezelle Kumalo at Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation in Johannesburg, South Africa. 

GDHP is co-funded by the Irish Research Council and the Department of Foreign Affairs through a COALESCE grant and runs from June 2023 to May 2026.
