Improving women's status promotes peace - but how? | Cornell Chronicle
Briefly

Sabrina Karim and Daniel W. Hill Jr. challenge the notion that 'gender equality' unequivocally diminishes political violence. Their research underscores the complexities obscured by the term.
Karim emphasizes the need for nuanced research, stating, 'Our results paint a different picture' than the simplistic belief that gender equality drives peace and reduces violence.
The authors argue against the oversimplification of 'gender equality', citing the correlation between its misrepresentation and the realities of women's status in various societal contexts.
The book proposes four key indicators on women's status, revealing how political violence can persist amid high political representation, questioning the effectiveness of existing gender equality policies.
