This thesis argues that dominant narratives of female victimhood and male agency obscure the real gender architecture of the Russia-Ukraine war — from the male-predominant pattern of sexual violence in detention to women's exclusion from peace talks — all flowing from a single protection order that the Women, Peace and Security agenda is failing to address.
The EU's response to the largest displacement crisis in Europe since the Second World War was, by almost any measure, a success, and therein lies its problem: an instrument built for speed was never redesigned for permanence, and millions of Ukrainians now live in the legal uncertainty that followed.
An Analysis of the correalation between political ideology and trust in Security Institutions. Based on a local survey
This paper investigates whether political orientation influences trust in state institutions like the police, military, and legal system. Through survey data, the researchers demonstrate that right-leaning individuals generally report higher institutional trust than their left-leaning counterparts.
Between 2002 and 2022, Bangladesh saw its GNI per capita surge over 550% while its Gender Inequality Index improved by 31.5%. However, short-term fluctuations show no correlation; rapid economic booms didn't trigger immediate leaps in social equality, proving these metrics can move independently despite overall positive long-term trends.
Traditional development models often rely on a binary "men vs. women" lens, yet this simplicity can be dangerous. In crisis zones like Ukraine or on the frontlines of climate change, a one-size-fits-all approach risks leaving the most vulnerable behind. This paper explores why intersectionality is not just a theory, but a survival necessity.
