Fostering Women, Peace and Security in the Turkish-Kurdish Peace Process

Written by Dilek Gürsel

 Drawing from the failed Turkish-Kurdish Peace Process and an analysis of the role of German-Turkish relations, Dilek Gürsel takes a look at the engagement of women in the Turkish-Kurdish peace process and outlines policy recommendations for Germany on how to support the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security agenda in Turkey.
