The following are excerpts from a paper commissioned by WELDD for the International Consultation Meeting on Culturally-Justified Violence Against Women (CVAW), Peace and Security which was held in Lahore, Pakistan on 4th, 5th and 6th November 2013. The meeting interrogated how the continuum of peace-security meshes with deeply-embedded discrimination against women including gender-based violence, as well as the implications for activism.
