Description

This book examines the work of three key women’s organizations working towards women’s rights and a peaceful solution to the Cyprus Problem. Based on a 13-year longitudinal qualitative study that develops a transnational feminist lens to look at the role of Hands Across the Divide (HAD), the Gender Advisory Team (GAT), and the Mediterranean Institute of Gender Studies (MIGS) organizations in women's activism on Cyprus, the research zooms in on three main questions: 1) How have women’s groups organized for peace? 2) What have been their key issues and organizing strategies? 3) What have been their organizing successes and challenges?
