Case Studies: Assessing UK Government Action on Women, Peace, and Security 2024

This set of Case Studies – Assessing UK Government Action on Women Peace and Security in 2024 complements GAPS’ 2024 Shadow Report by grounding its analysis in the lived experiences of women and girls in conflict-affected contexts. Focusing on Ukraine, the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Sudan, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the case studies explore the urgent need for gender-responsive, locally led approaches to peace and security.

These case studies highlight how intersecting global crises including rising authoritarianism, climate change, forced displacement, and shrinking civic space are worsening conditions for women and marginalised communities. They also document the leadership of women peacebuilders and human rights defenders, often working without sustainable funding or meaningful political support.

Together, the Shadow Report 2024 and Case Studies provide a detailed, grounded, and urgent call for renewed UK action on Women, Peace and Security at home and abroad.
