“…This research aligns with existing efforts to examine women's peacebuilding potential, particularly within conflict dynamics (Johnston et al, 2020). This field of scholarship is growing consistently, as we see with the development of Women, Peace and Security policy frameworks across international and national levels (Achilleos-Sarll, 2021; Davies & True, 2018). Despite this promising trajectory, worthwhile critique points towards the cooptation of “women” and “empowerment” as categories employed for political gains at the expense of the subjects of these development efforts (Aguinaga et al, 2013; Cornwall & Brock, 2005; Kabeer, 2001).…”

Development policies advancing the Women, Peace and Security agenda enjoy an established trajectory across international organizations. This is evident within United Nations programs that engage displaced populations where children are particularly vulnerable to conflict dynamics. This article argues that existing gender-based development policies mitigate the impact of conflict on children through empowering displaced women as peacebuilding agents. Using United Nations data, fieldwork, and elite interviews, this article employs a case study of Iraq to show that the implementation of gender-based development policies correlates with reduced rates of grave violations against children in conflict settings. These findings point to the peacebuilding potential of displaced women through their ability to mitigate the economic and social impacts of conflict dynamics on children. Policy programs within the United Nations Women, Peace and Security framework should engage this connection between displaced women and the protection of children to strengthen and improve peacebuilding outcomes in conflict environments.
