Gendering Ceasefires in the MENA Region: The Cases of Gaza and Lebanon
While ceasefire negotiation and implementation processes in the Middle East have historically sidelined women, and ceasefire agreements are often gender blind, there are various rationales – both normative and practical – for gendering ceasefires. This Insight draws on comparative evidence and new ideas to discuss several (potentially) effective strategies for ensuring women’s meaningful participation throughout a ceasefire process. This is particularly relevant in the cases of Gaza and Lebanon, where, despite the widespread evidence of devastating impacts that the wars have caused for women, the Lebanon and Gaza ceasefire agreements from 27 November 2024 and 15 January 2025, respectively, the preceding and subsequent (extension) negotiations, as well as the monitoring efforts were largely gender blind.
