Online discussion
The ICIP has organized an online discussion with five of the authors to present the monograph publically. The session is avaliable in English in the ICIP YouTube channel.
From this webinar the ICIP has published a graphic summary with the main analysis and messages.
These materials and analysis are part of the ICIP field of work “Alternatives of security” which has the goal to build an alternative discourse to the prevailing conception of security by disseminating the strategies and tools that feminism and nonviolence provide to address conflict. In particular, ICIP seeks to rethink security from a human and environmental perspective.
