Abstract

With armed conflicts and wars continuing to occur globally, the pursuit of peace is an enduring concern. In the efforts to resolve these conflicts, a vast number of peace agreements have been signed. In this project, we examine the extent to which women and gender are explicitly acknowledged or addressed in peace agreements. Using debossing, we physicalize the mentions of women and gender in these agreements as a means to increase awareness and recognition of these often-overlooked constituencies.
