If we don\u2019t apply a gender lens to any peace-building, community-led reconciliation and mechanisms for justice we only further entrench violence and structural oppression against women, LGBTIQ+ persons and reinforce violent masculinities. If rebuilding the nation is re-imagining a better, more just society, then we must prioritise the creation of a gender-healed nation.\u201d – Institute for Justice and Reconciliation, South Africa.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" URDR researchers have explored conflict and peace processes in different countries, and the complex role of religion in both of these.
