“…These known cases are the tip of the iceberg since many unreported and widespread GBV cases are systematically subject to unresolved, where perpetrators remain unpunished and victims reluctant to report (Ismail Khan 2018). It is ferociously bizarre for the twenty-first century of inhumane versions of present-day women violence in Islamabad can be easily treated as isolated and disconnected from numerous infamous historical women victimisations during Pakistan's War of Independence, partition and military clashes with former East Pakistan and India (Chatterjee and Maitra 2021;Chatterji 2021).…”

For years, the insecurity and violence against women in many parts of Pakistan have magnified the danger of the prevalent worldview of strong and protective men. In contrast, women are weak and protected by men. Inevitable victimisation and powerless women are counterproductive since women are central to the community's household institution. This paper explores local community peacebuilding initiatives of women's first Jirga by a local activist Tabassum Adnan in Pakistan's Province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Exploring women's Jirga as an agency of regional and gendered peace formation in a salient patriarchal Pakhtun worldview underscores women's security and gendered Peace perspective in recognising the need to consider the missing systemic and unpeaceful change and transformation in contemporary Pakistan and South Asia. Adopting qualitative methods of Feminist Peace research unravels the potential and pitfalls of how women can embark upon alternative dispute resolutions (ADR) when patriarchal conceptualisations of conflict resolution prevent their active participation. Findings show multidimensional links between local community peace and global systemic and peaceful transformation of international relations (IR). Recognising the transformative roles of women in overcoming GBV is a critical transnational shift from the past and minimal human rights protection of women to the present and maximal recognition of women as emancipatory agents of peace.

The relations between Pakistan and India share a critical relations history. Both the neighboring states fought major three wars in 1965, 1971 and 1998 (Kargil) and numerous medium and small-level clashes due to a number of different causes. The study founds Kashmir as the root cause as well as Line of Control (LOC) issues, interference in each other country affairs, political criticism and religious issues have been observed as misunderstandings between both countries. However, the leadership of both nations have a history to solve these issues through peaceful means but yet failed. This study relies on multiple sources i.e. primary and secondary through descriptive research methods. The study suggests that Pakistani and Indian delegates would do well to compromise their positions and build confidence between them as well as it will be necessary to retain some degree of flexibility with regard to the principles and points that are being negotiated.
