Join us either in person or virtually from 5.30 to 7.30pm (including reception) on Monday 23 September for the hybrid launch: Gender, Justice and Security: Structural Challenges, Feminist Innovations and Radical Futures

The UKRI GCRF Gender, Justice and Security Hub (the Hub) addresses some of the world’s most urgent injustices. Conflict and gender-based violence have devastating, long-term consequences for individuals, families and communities. They also severely hamper the successful delivery of development goals internationally.

The Hub is an interdisciplinary, transnational research network working with local and global civil society, practitioners, governments and international organisations over 5 years to address these challenges and advance the delivery of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 on gender equality, SDG 16 on peace, justice and strong institutions, and the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda. The Hub includes 40 partner organisations, 38 research projects in 24 countries and over 150 members around the world. Its novelty lies in its interdisciplinary ambition, its feminist framework, the breadth of comparative analysis and its vision of a holistic approach to gender equality and sustainable justice in and after conflict.

Collectively authored by Hub members, the report includes Hub-wide analysis and reflections, as well as country-specific and general research findings and recommendations. In addition to sharing research findings, the report critically reflects on the Hub’s large-scale feminist approach to transnational, interdisciplinary, multi-partner research and examines its vision for a radically transformed future.

Panellists will reflect on the Hub’s findings and on the Hub itself as a model for change – exploring how its interdisciplinary, transnational and collaborative feminist praxis can support advances in gender justice and inclusive security.
