Description du projet
Le rôle des militantes et des réfugiées yéménites
Le projet PeaceWomen, financé par l’UE, va mener une étude complète et multisite sur les femmes, la révolution, la migration forcée et la consolidation de la paix au Yémen et au-delà. L’équipe de recherche s’appuiera sur la théorie, la pratique et le développement de politiques sur les femmes, les conflits et la consolidation de la paix. En se concentrant sur le rôle des militantes et des réfugiées yéménites, elle mettra en lumière la manière dont les femmes yéménites ont résisté à leur marginalisation et géré leur position défavorisée dans le pays et en dehors. Les résultats contribueront au développement conceptuel d’une théorie des femmes et de la révolution en articulant une interaction complexe entre révolution, migration forcée, conflit et consolidation de la paix. Un travail ethnographique de terrain sera mené auprès de militantes et de réfugiées yéménites en Allemagne, en Jordanie et aux Pays-Bas.
Objectif
This project proposes an analysis of the role of Yemeni female activists and refugees in conflict resolution and peace-building. The research objectives are: 1) to explore Yemeni female refugees’ and activists’ efforts and actions in conflict management and peace-building between 2015-2021 to rethink women’s role in peace processes; 2) to document their experiences to understand how the post-revolutionary violence and conflict situation in the country affected and re-shaped their political participation, and how Yemeni women resisted their marginalization and dealt with their disadvantaged position in and outside the country; 3) to contribute to the conceptual development of women and revolution theory by articulating an intricate interplay of revolution, forced migration, conflict and peace-building; 4) to analyse possible contributions from Yemeni female activists and refugees with the objective to identify practical ways to develop peace-building and conflict prevention strategies; 5) to link research findings to relevant policy makers and put forward gender-sensitive policy recommendations on the Yemeni peace-building. The methodology is based on a literature review and empirical research associated with anthropology, political science, migration, gender and peace studies. Ethnographic fieldwork will be carried out with Yemeni activists and refugees in the Netherlands, Germany and Jordan. The results will be put in a broader perspective which links warfare and state formation with the previous research on women and revolution in Yemen. It will be the first full-length and multi-site study of women, revolution, forced migration and peace-building in Yemen and beyond. The project will make a significative contribution not only to theory but also to practice and policy development on women, conflict and peace-building. Moreover, the experience gained from the host and secondment institution will enable the fellow to achieve the academic position of high quality.
